{"product_id":"exit-opera-kim-addonizio-9781324078937","title":"Exit Opera","description":"Set in locations from dive bars to Montparnasse Cemetery, from an ancient Greek temple to a tourist shop in Assisi, Exit Opera explores the ever-vexing issues of time, mortality, love, and loss, and considers the roles of art and human connection. Whatever their nominal subject—jazz, zombies, Buddhism, Siberian tigers—these poems make for a compelling mix of humor and pain, difficulty and solace. In a nod to Keats, one of the many fellow travelers in these poems, Addonizio invites us to “[inscribe] a few verses on whatever water \/ you can find” and assures readers that they are not alone in navigating the challenges and changes of mortal life. As she writes in “My Opera”:The staging is difficult. Exploding starsare involved, high-redshift galaxies, interior chambers,a little country blues, a little jazz guitar, a jam jar containinga tiny ocean \u0026amp; a tinier rowboat rocking gently in the swellsthat I am steering toward you in the dark.","brand":"WW Norton \u0026 Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51418693206304,"sku":"9781324078937","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781324078937_2454468.jpg?v=1775222894","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/exit-opera-kim-addonizio-9781324078937","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
