In \u003ci\u003eAgainst Silence\u003c\/i\u003e, the Pulitzer Prize winner's eleventh collection of poetry, Bidart writes of the cycles we cannot escape and the feelings we cannot forget. Our history is not a tabula rasa but a repeating, refining story of love and hate, of words spoken and old cruelties enacted. Moving among the dead and the living, the figures of his life and of his past, Bidart calls reality forth--with nothing settled and nothing forgotten, we must speak.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"FSG Adult","offers":[{"title":"Against Silence: Poems | Frank Bidart | Paperback | 9780374606473 | New | Poetry 1513131","offer_id":48163080896664,"sku":"1513131","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71rFThNRCRL.jpg?v=1771876235","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/against-silence-poems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
