{"product_id":"spilled-and-gone-poems-9780822965725","title":"Spilled and Gone: Poems","description":"Spilled and Gone, Jessica Greenbaum's third collection marries the world through metaphor so that a serrated knife on its back is as harmless as \"the ocean on a shiny day,\" and two crossed daisies in Emily Dickinson's herbarium \"might double as the logo \/for a roving band of pacifists.\" At heart, the poems themselves seek peace through close observation's associative power to reveal cohering relationships and meaning within the 21st century-and during its dark turn. In the everyday tally of \"the good against the violence\" the speaker asks, \"why can't the line around the block on the free night\/ at the museum stand for everything, why can't the shriek \/of the girls in summer waves . . . \/ be the call and response of all people living on the earth?\" A descendant of the New York school and the second wave, Greenbaum \"spills\" details that she simultaneously replaces-through the spiraling revelations only poems with an authentic life-force of humanism can nurture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJessica Greenbaum \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eInventing Difficulty\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Gerald Cable Prize, and \u003ci\u003eThe Two Yvonnes, \u003c\/i\u003echosen by Paul Muldoon for The Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets.
