In poems that show us what it is like to grow up in America, love, nature, cities, sports, war, and peace are filtered through the imagination and verbal skills of one of our brightest poets.\u003cbr\u003eThe new poems experiment with form, and address a life that is shrinking in specific ways: the poet is aging, the world is getting smaller, our post-9\/11 freedoms are eroding, and our choices seem fewer and less attractive. Despite feelings of anger and loneliness, the narrator speaks to us in a personal, accessible, and often humorous voice.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Contracted World: New \u0026 More Selected Poems | Peter Meinke | Paperback | 9780822959182 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1774652","offer_id":49674779984024,"sku":"1774652","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Ba1aOyyqL.jpg?v=1786557732","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/contracted-world-new-more-selected-poems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
