{"product_id":"the-book-of-seventy-9780822960515","title":"The Book of Seventy","description":"Alicia Ostriker seizes the opportunity to take us where too few poets have been able to take us: into a domain of what our fabulists like to call the \\u201cgolden years.\\u201d as we live longer, we become inevitably curious about the actual texture of these late years, curious about what happens in the soul. Out of that curiosity is a new kind of poetry born, an elderstile that has passion and irony, wisdom, folly, clarity and tenderness. In her keen engagement with the self and the world, Ostriker offers us a voice and a perspective that explore the territory of seventy and beyond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlicia Suskin Ostriker\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of eleven previous poetry collections, including: \u003ci\u003eThe Mother\/Child Papers; No Heaven; the volcano sequence; \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Little Space: Poems Selected and New, 1968-1998. \u003c\/i\u003e She has received the Paterson Poetry Prize, the William Carlos Williams Award, the San Francisco State Poetry Center Award, and has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award.
