{"product_id":"black-dog-black-night","title":"Black Dog, Black Night","description":"“A monumental contribution to international literature.” —BLOOMSBURY REVIEW\n\nVietnam—the very word raises many associations for Westerners. Yet while the country has been ravaged by a modern history of colonialism and war, its ancient culture is rich and multilayered, and within it poetry has long had a special place.\n\nIn this groundbreaking anthology, coeditors and translators Nguyen Do and Paul Hoover present a revelatory portrait of contemporary Vietnamese poetry. What emerges from this conversation of outsiders and insiders, Vietnamese and American voices, is a worldly sensibility descended from the geographical and historical crossroads of Vietnam in the modern era. Reflecting influences as diverse as traditional folk stories and American Modernism, the twenty-one poets included in Black Dog, Black Night, many of whom have never before been published in English, introduce readers to a fresh, uncensored, and utterly unique poetic vision.","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233259114840,"sku":"9781571314307","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781571314307.jpg?v=1765309527","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/black-dog-black-night","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
