{"product_id":"kyrie-poems-9780393037968","title":"Kyrie: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this mosaic of sonnets  Ellen Bryant Voigt takes on a monumental challenge: to conjure up the influenza pandemic of 1918-19  a harrowing but little-recorded event in history. Over twenty-five million lives were lost worldwide  half a million in the United States alone. Focusing first on a family and then branching out  Voigt includes the voices of a soldier writing home  his schoolteacher fiancee  orphaned children  bereft husbands and wives. As seasons pass  the separate voices accumulate into one vast  almost Biblical story: the report of a community in the grip of mounting  untreatable contagion. \"How we survived: we locked the doors \/ and let nobody in.\" Kyrie is a tour de force of imagination grounded in history  with overtones for our own time of plague.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275718975541,"sku":"ByrdShop_0393037967","price":110.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780393037968.jpg?v=1780512718","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/kyrie-poems-9780393037968","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
