{"product_id":"ossabaw","title":"Ossabaw","description":"\u003cp\u003eBelieving in invention as the art of finding things, David Hamilton has been concerned with finding what, in memory, in nature, in his reading, and in daily events, suggests a poem. Some of the results are “found poems” in the strict sense, as he samples and refashions existing texts; other poems in this remarkable book could be said to be found in the extended sense of being discovered in memory or by observation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eComprising free verse lyrics as well as poems in recognizable forms, Hamilton demonstrates an extraordinary range, including a series of upside down sonnets, “upsodounnets” as Chaucer might have said. The long title poem carries \u003cem\u003efinding\u003c\/em\u003e to an extreme as Hamilton condenses journal entries to a collage of lyrical notes. Observation of nature is a primary subject, but not far behind comes material from daily life and the world of art – from paintings and from other texts, both early and recent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223572861272,"sku":"9781844712601","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781844712601_f37b9192-aa04-4d5d-ac07-63cb36831ea1.jpg?v=1764914445","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/ossabaw","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
