{"product_id":"the-good-thief-9780892551279","title":"The Good Thief","description":"The heralded debut collection of poems by the author of What the Living Do (Norton, 1997). Selected by Margaret Atwood as a winner in the 1987 Open Competition of the National Poetry Series, this unique collection was the first sounding of a deeply authentic voice. Howe's early writings concern relationship, attachment, and loss, in a highly original search for personal transcendence. Many of the thirty-four poems in The Good Thief appeared in such prestigious journals and periodicals as The Atlantic, The American Poetry Review, Poetry, Ploughshares, The Agni Review, and The Partisan Review.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHowe, Marie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eMarie Howe\u003c\/strong\u003e is the former poet laureate of New York and the author of three previous collections. \u003cem\u003eMagdalene\u003c\/em\u003e was longlisted for the National Book Award.
