That place gives its name to Louise Glück's tenth collection: in a landscape turned irretrievably to winter, it is a gate or passageway that invites traffic between worlds while at the same time resisting their reconciliation. \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is an extended lamentation, its long, restless poems no less spellbinding for being without conventional resoltution or consolation, no less ravishing for being savage, grief-stricken. What \u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e provides is not a map to a point of arrival or departure, but a diagram of where we are, the harrowing, enduring present. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eAverno\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2006 National Book Award Finalist for Poetry.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Averno: Poems | Louise Gluck | Paperback | 9780374530747 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1641808 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48164690100376,"sku":"1641808","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/611XzKqITsL.jpg?v=1771902182","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/averno-poems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
