{"product_id":"poetry-home-repair-manual","title":"Poetry Home Repair Manual","description":"Ted Kooser has been writing and publishing poetry for more than forty years. In the pages of \u003ci\u003eThe Poetry Home Repair Manual\u003c\/i\u003e, Kooser brings those decades of experience to bear. Here are tools and insights, the instructions (and warnings against instructions) that poets-aspiring or practicing-can use to hone their craft, perhaps into art. Using examples from his own rich literary oeuvre and from the work of a number of successful contemporary poets, the author schools us in the critical relationship between poet and reader, which is fundamental to what Kooser believes is poetry’s ultimate purpose: to reach other people and touch their hearts. Much more than a guidebook to writing and revising poems, this manual has all the comforts and merits of a long and enlightening conversation with a wise and patient old friend-a friend who is willing to share everything he’s learned about the art he’s spent a lifetime learning to execute so well.","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222647787864,"sku":"9780803259782","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780803259782_dec40b13-5f85-4329-9da2-2cca9d113a07.jpg?v=1780386352","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/poetry-home-repair-manual","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
