{"product_id":"on-a-stair-isbn-9780140587937","title":"On a Stair","description":"Ann Lauterbach's fifth collection takes its title from Emerson's great essay, Experience: \"Where do we find ourselves?\" he asks. Lauterbach's stair sits precariously between a quest for spiritual vitality and a sense of the overwhelming materiality of our world. Identifying with the clown, the nomad and the thief figures whose ghostly marginality haunt this book, Lauterbach brings us, with a dazzling range of formal and imagistic resources, to a new understanding of how language inscribes the relationship between self-knowledge and cultural meaning.On A StairA Valentine for Tomorrow\u003cbr\u003eNocturnal Reel\u003cbr\u003eBramble Portrait\u003cbr\u003eFigure without Ground\u003cbr\u003ePoem of the Landscape\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn (Tower)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNight Barrier\u003cbr\u003ePoise on Row\u003cbr\u003eSequence with Dream Objects in Real Time\u003cbr\u003eBlake's Lagoon\u003cbr\u003eFree Fall\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn (Word)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn (Open)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Clown, Some Colors, A Doll, Her Stories, A Song, A Moonlit Cove\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn (Thing)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn (Dream)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Return of Weather\u003cbr\u003eStaircase\u003cbr\u003eA History Lesson\u003cbr\u003eDaylight Savings Time\u003cbr\u003eDelayed Elegy\u003cbr\u003eAnd The Question Of\u003cbr\u003ePoem with Last Line from Epictetus\u003cbr\u003eHere\/This\/There\/That\u003cbr\u003eAuction\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eN\/est\u003cbr\u003eInvocationAnn Lauterbach is Ruth and David Schwab III Professor of Language and Literature at Bard College.
