{"product_id":"the-floating-bridge-prose-poems-9780822959892","title":"The Floating Bridge: Prose Poems","description":"\"Vanquishes once and for all the notion that the prose poem is somehow inherently 'not a real poem.' Exhibits a sustained level of innate lyricism and imagism rarely seen even in conventional lyric free verse. Unfailingly, the little prose jewels in 'The Floating Bridge' exhibit the most fundamental property of fine poems: each whole is many times greater than the sum of its parts.\" --Cider Press Review \"Shumate's collection consists of over 50 gems...each one loaded with the living essence that hovers just beyond rationality's gate.  He] is a master of this forthright form. His book is a key to the room where dreams are stored.\" --Nuvo \"I was deeply taken by David Shumate's The Floating Bridge. There is none better working now at this very difficult genre, the prose poem.\" --Jim Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3390433\"\u003eDavid Shumate\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 73\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.57w x 0.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822959892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822959895\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42655851217133,"sku":"9780822959892","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_0ba3fb11-8780-4990-94c8-e31cb86f85c4.jpg?v=1649284717","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-floating-bridge-prose-poems-9780822959892","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
