{"product_id":"the-book-of-men-9780393342659","title":"The Book of Men","description":"\u003cp\u003eDorianne Laux's fifth collection of poetry peels back time to the summer of love and the Vietnam War. Her keen hindsight uncovers the humanity at the center of conflict with language that goes straight to the heart. This work stands as an elegy for the loss of innocence, an homage to the glimmer underneath the urban grunge, and a love song to the imperfections that unite and divide us. Laux possesses what Tony Hoagland calls \"the brave art of looking,\" with an immediate and compassionate touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLaux, Dorianne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDorianne Laux\u003c\/strong\u003e's poetry collections include \u003cem\u003eOnly as the Day Is Long\u003c\/em\u003e, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Men\u003c\/em\u003e, winner of the Paterson Poetry Prize; and \u003cem\u003eFacts about the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, winner of the Oregon Book Award.
