{"product_id":"isles-of-firm-ground","title":"Isles of Firm Ground","description":"In wondrous, singing translation by Mike Soto, these spare, striking poems by Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez explore the infinite solitude of the universe.\n\n\nThe poems of Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez reflect a world precariously dependent on the word, but also transfixed by the word. They express a metaphysical shift where the laws of heaven and earth are suspended, transformed into a terrain of the journey inward, reflecting a cosmos of the self. The simplicity of these poems never fail to resonate, reflecting a profound investigation of the world on an elemental level. Ruiz-Pérez's poetry very often reads like the discovery of a formula, an algebra of poetic inquiry that draws together references to Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake, and Alejandra Pizarnik. Deftly translated by poet Mike Soto, these poems express a singular vision of the abundance of the world as well as the void, but in these poems even the void is begged to speak.","brand":"Deep Vellum Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40411864596563,"sku":"9781646051298","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781646051298_77a49e27-5ab4-410e-a0a8-918ad5ff31f0.jpg?v=1770709545","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/isles-of-firm-ground","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
