{"product_id":"averno-poems","title":"Averno: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eAverno is a small crater lake in southern , regarded by the ancient Romans as the entrance to the underworld. That place gives its name to Louise Glück’s eleventh collection: in a landscape turned irretrievably to winter, it is the only source of heat and light, a gate or passageway that invites traffic between worlds while at the same time opposing their reconciliation. Averno is an extended lamentation, its long, restless poems no less spellbinding for being without plot or hope, no less ravishing for being savage, grief-stricken. What Averno provides is not a map to a point of arrival or departure, but a diagram of where we are, the harrowing, enduring presence.\u003cbr\u003e\nAverno is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry., ISBN13:9780374107420 ISBN10:0374107424 Material Type:hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46344908308643,"sku":"B7.21.2 F_PHR_07-05-25_H0000NYD","price":20.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71VxOruPFKL.jpg?v=1759995270","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/averno-poems","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
