{"product_id":"north-american-stadiums","title":"North American Stadiums","description":"Winner of the inaugural Max Ritvo Poetry Prize, \u003ci\u003eNorth American Stadiums\u003c\/i\u003e is an assured debut collection about grace--the places we search for it, and the disjunction between what we seek and where we arrive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e You were supposed to find God here \/ the signs said. In these poems, hinterlands demand our close attention; overlooked places of industry become sites for pilgrimage; and history large and small--of a city, of a family, of a shirt--is unearthed. Here is a factory emptying for the day, a snowy road just past border patrol, a baseball game at dusk. Mile signs point us toward Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Salt Lake City, Chicago. And god is not the God expected, but the still moment amid movement: a field lit like the heart \/ of the night, black stars stitched to the yellow sweatshirts of men in a crowd. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A map bleached \/ pale by time and weather, \u003ci\u003eNorth American Stadiums\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection at once resolutely unsentimental yet deeply tender, illuminating the historical forces that shape the places we inhabit and how those places, in turn, shape us.","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39328294535268,"sku":"9781571315045","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/north-american-stadiums","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
