{"product_id":"weighing-light-poems-9781566636674","title":"Weighing Light: Poems","description":"The fifth winner of the annual New Criterion Poetry Prize. From the glinting scales in a painting by Vermeer to the white lines that disappear beneath a headlight's beam, Mr. Brock's poems measure out the often elusive weights and distances of the known world, confronting the unruly powers that threaten his burnished surfaces. Once read, his keen perceptions-all the more striking for the expertly cadenced music of his language and his supple use of poetic form-will be long remembered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeoffrey Brock's poems have appeared in the \u003ci\u003eHudson Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePoetry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePN Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNew England Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003e32 Poems\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as in several anthologies.
