{"title":"Amanda Jernigan","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"groundwork-book-amanda-jernigan-9781926845258","title":"Groundwork","description":"The three sequences of Groundwork comprise a sophisticated reworking of European myth on the order of Yeats's The Tower. The first is situated by an archaeological dig in modern-day Tunisia, the second by the Garden of Eden, the third by the waters and islands of Homer's Odyssey. Together they form a devastating critique of contemporary aesthetics.  Few poets today are versed in the archetypes that inform the European tradition, and even fewer can manipulate them with the grace of Amanda Jernigan. With rivers of exquisite prosody and a panoramic intellectual scope, her Groundwork has recharted the poetic landscape -- and by doing so, has changed it forever.  PRAISE FOR AMANDA JERNIGAN  \"Amanda Jernigan possesses daunting formal skill ...her lines have an emotional intensity that is no less memorable for being understated. And she has a light, perfecting touch.\" - David Orr, NPR.org  \"For years now, Amanda Jernigan's name has been traded between poets like stories of mythical beast sightings; whispers of a poet who could arrive on the scene any day to shame us all with her preternatural craft, heart, and mind. With Groundwork, Jernigan arrives not as a wide-eyed first-timer, but as a wide-eyed master. You hold in your hands a collector's item of the future. Mark my words: you'll say, I was there when.\" -- George Murray  \"What a delight to read such superbly crafted poems which at the same time transcend their craft so decisively. They are light and song-like but they are also profound. She has the lovely singing line, though the poems bite too; that strengthens the melody.\" - Eric Ormsby","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49737508421905,"sku":"NGR9781926845258","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055534113041,"sku":"NIN9781926845258","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52453398315281,"sku":"NLS9781926845258","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1926845250.jpg?v=1751413792"},{"product_id":"years-months-and-days-book-amanda-jernigan-9781771962353","title":"Years, Months, and Days","description":"A NEW YORK TIMES BEST POETRY BOOK OF 2018   A transfiguration of Mennonite hymns into heartbreaking lyric poems, Years, Months, and Days is a moving “meditation on the possibility of translation.” Bridging secular spirituality and holy reverence with the commonalities of life, death, love, and hope, Jernigan explores the connection between hymn and poem, recalling the spare beauty of Marilynne Robinson’s novels or the poems of Jan Zwicky and Robert Bringhurst. The sparse and tender phrasing of Years, Months, and Days is “an offering of words to music,” made in the spirit of a shared love—for life, for a particular landscape and its rhythms—that animates poem and prayer alike.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50391268622609,"sku":"CIN1771962356VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51324309569809,"sku":"CIN1771962356G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1771962356.jpg?v=1750801356"},{"product_id":"earth-and-heaven-book-amanda-jernigan-9781554553761","title":"Earth and Heaven","description":"Jernigan and Jones celebrate the vitality and diversity of poetry inspired by, or in conversation with, myth.
