An introduction by Normal Finkelstein connects the biographical elements to a consideration of the work and takes in Austers early literary and philosophical influences. Penetrating  lyric  and tempered with the same brooding intelligence that informs The New York Trilogy  these poems offer a unique window into postmodern consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651584450613,"sku":"ByrdShop_1585679119","price":604.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781585679119.jpg?v=1781836054","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/collected-poems-paul-auster-9781585679119","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
