This nice hell of suburbs. \/ Speed bumps. The way things aren’t quite paradise.”\u003cbr\u003e      Jones, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award, is one of America’s “best, most generous, and most brilliantly readable poets” (\u003cem\u003ePoetry\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003cem\u003e Imaginary Logic\u003c\/em\u003e is the most eloquent expression yet of his rigorous mind, scrupulous eye, and capacious heart.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “[Jones’] poems are a work of hands, and hands-on. His rich lyric sentences register experience at the full and thus at its high moment of complexity. Like most of the important poets, he’s a lapsed pastoralist attempting to restore—no, save—the fallen.”—Stanley Plumly\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366405669119,"sku":"9780547840208","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780547840208_s600x595.jpg?v=1780333102","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780547840208","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
