{"product_id":"made-in-detroit-poems-9780385353885","title":"Made in Detroit: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eA treasure trove of new poems by one of our most sought-after poets: poems that range from descriptions of the Detroit of her childhood to her current life on Cape Cod  from deep appreciations of the natural world to elegies for lost friends and relationships  from a vision of her Jewish heritage to a hard-hitting take on todays political ironies.  In her trademark style  combining the sublime with the gritty  Marge Piercy describes the night she was born: the sky burned red \/ over Detroit and sirens sharpened their knives. \/ The elms made tents of solace over grimy \/ streets and alley cats purred me to sleep. She writes in graphic  unflinching language about the poor  banished now by politicians because they are no longer real people like corporations. There are elegies for her peer group of poets  gone now  whose work she cherishes but from whom she cannot help but want more. There are laments for the suicide of dolphins and for her beloved cats  as she remembers exactly how I loved each. She continues to celebrate Jewish holidays in compellingly original ways and sings praises of her marriage and the small pleasures of daily life.  This is a stunning collection that will please those who already know Marge Piercys work and offer a splendid introduction to it for those who dont.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45647080325173,"sku":"ByrdShop_038535388X","price":25.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780385353885.jpg?v=1781688086","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/made-in-detroit-poems-9780385353885","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
