{"product_id":"skandalon-1","title":"Skandalon","description":"In Christian theology, a skandalon is a distraction from grace, a maze of error where we wander pointlessly, wasting our lives. To the ancient Greeks, a skandalon was the trigger of a trap. T. R. Hummer's labyrinthine new collection encompasses these meanings and more, as its poems take various paths - some beguiling, some grotesque, some instructive, some opaque - to unexpected destinations. Undergirding the collection is a series of progressive vignettes entitled \"\"Victims of the Wedding,\"\" which follows the quarrels and couplings of a human man and woman as well as the angel and demon who observe them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSkandalon\u003c\/i\u003e presents poems that consider the subtle, tragic, and ridiculous responses of creatures who lose themselves in a world they had wrongly imagined to be their own.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55807688966488,"sku":"9780807157411","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780807157411.jpg?v=1778679963","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/skandalon-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
