{"product_id":"rooms-3","title":"Rooms","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRooms\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of new and selected poems by Diane Glancy. The rooms are spaces from previous collections – spaces influenced by memory and the pull of the past on the present. This collection of poems walks a line between balance and imbalance and struggles for an alignment of fragmented experiences. It tries to put into perspective the disparities of survival. It seeks to reconcile history and a broken heritage that results from a collision of cultures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eThese poems, written from 1986-2004, include work from earlier collections, \u003cem\u003eThe Relief Of America\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Shadow's Horse\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eStones For A Pillow\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003e(Ado)Ration\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBoom Town\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eLone Dog’s Winter Count\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eIron Woman\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOne Age In A Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eOffering\u003c\/em\u003e, and a chapbook, \u003cem\u003eCoyote’s Quodlibet\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eThe title is taken from an idea, The Ames Room, which was a demonstration created by Dartmouth Professor Adelbert Ames in the 1940’s to show that we can look into an off-sided room, yet it will appear in proportion because the way we think something should be shapes our perception of it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eIf the mind is a trickster shaping the misshapen into a familiar form and setting upright what has been turned on its side, what does a lopsided perception do? Does it skew what is not skewed? What if history, in this case, Native American history, has been turned on its side? How does the off-sided perception of the vanquished warp normal experience? \u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRooms\u003c\/em\u003e is a calling together of the tribes. These poems are a campground of voices in council.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54223544287576,"sku":"9781844710614","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781844710614.jpg?v=1777030248","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/rooms-3","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
