{"product_id":"9781646052684","title":"Love Training","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe poems in LOVE TRAINING are intimate in focus and scale: taut and contemplative, they ruminate on family, exile, romantic love, and the vagaries of human perception.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLOVE TRAINING, which gathers poems from several of Andrés Neuman’s books into a single unified collection, is divided into three sections. The first, the titular \"Love Training,\" focuses on family (and its history), loss, relationships, love, and a sense of anchoring in the world. The second, “Fictions of Sight,” are associated with questions of perception, perspective, and creativity. And the third, “I Don’t Know Why” – which is the first phrase of every poem in the section – is a whimsical set of interconnected poems that ask unanswered questions; it serves as a kind of coda to the book. While Andrés Neuman is a celebrated and widely translated novelist, he is also a lucid, sensitive, incisive – and quite prolific – poet. LOVE TRAINING is the first English translation of his poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Andres Neuman","offers":[{"title":"Deep Vellum |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-12-01","offer_id":44230051496191,"sku":"9781646052684","price":26.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ee7c7069-48c4-47a1-b3bd-c109814d8636.jpg?v=1692993783","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781646052684","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
