{ "item_title" : "Watching Ourselves", "item_author" : [" Mark Belair "], "item_description" : "Watching Ourselves is a collection of poems gathered in groups: how we watch ourselves grow up, observe others, love, look back; how we watch ourselves come to grief, age, receive, and reflect.We watch ourselves, of course, with difficulty and incompleteness, tasking the poems to strive for a measure of clarity-however partial-as they, like us, struggle to know themselves.The collection title is not Watching Myself, for the poems are concerned with not only the poet but with a range-a complex-of people and circumstances. The title could as easily have been Watching Each Other.While the poems are all written in free verse, their poetic approaches vary: couplets, tercets, quatrains, poems with slashes for punctuation, poems with slanted line lengths, short lyric poems, long narrative poems: whatever the poem itself seemed to call for, as each poem was begun because something happened that the poet didn't understand but needed to. Watching Ourselves is a collection of poems addressing, and written out of, bewilderment.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/99/808/727/0998087270_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.25", "online_price" : "16.25", "our_price" : "16.25", "club_price" : "16.25", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
