{"product_id":"selected-poems-2","title":"Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThom Gunn was an Elizabethan poet in modern guise, though there's nothing archaic, quaint, or sepia-toned about his poetry. His method was dispassionate and rigorous, uniquely well suited for making a poetic record of the tumultuous time in which he lived. Gunn's dozens of brilliantly realized poems about nature, friendship, literature, sexual love, and death are set against the ever-changing backdrop of San Francisco--the druggy, politically charged sixties and the plague years of AIDS in the eighties. Perhaps no contemporary poet was better equipped--by temperament, circumstance, or poetic gift--to engage the subjects of eros and thanatos than Thom Gunn. This new Selected Poems, edited and with an introduction by the poet August Kleinzahler, supplants the 1979 \u003ci\u003eSelected\u003c\/i\u003e, presenting more of the later work and providing a fuller retrospective account of the breadth and magnitude of Gunn's extraordinary achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thom Gunn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46044702539845,"sku":"BS-LIB-258597","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2482\/2494\/files\/9780374258597-HD.jpg?v=1792284570","url":"https:\/\/libros787.com\/en\/products\/selected-poems-2","provider":"Libros787.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
