{ "item_title" : "Convergence", "item_author" : [" Harry Moore "], "item_description" : "Harry Moore's ars poetica is abundantly clear in every line he writes, but in his poem Trees he lays it out for us directly. Poets, he says, have to lay their hands on, they have to look, they have to feel, they have to name, and, ultimately, they have to see. Through the incisive images of the poems in this collection, Moore does indeed see the world deep down, celebrating its glorious convergencies. Grace and vision, I think, mark every single one of these poems. -Norman McMillan, author, Distant SonIn Convergence: A Neighborhood, Harry Moore takes us along on walks through a historical neighborhood, sometimes with a canine companion, as the poet uncovers the paradise that lies right before our eyes. It is a place of wonder with shady oaks and a variety of flowers and plants populating well-groomed gardens and yards in a residential district undergoing perpetual restoration and renewal. Professor Moore shares a scholarly perspective - with word origins for key terms as epigraphs, and a page of notes on the literary references and allusions - without sacrificing accessibility in these enchanting poems that interconnect into a cohesive whole. Convergence comes as a welcome follow up to Moore's award-winning volume, We the People: Confessions of a Caucasian Southerner. -James Miller Robinson, author, The Caterpillars at Saint Bernard and The Empty Chair", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/890/146/9798901468142_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "20.00", "online_price" : "20.00", "our_price" : "20.00", "club_price" : "20.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
