The resulting poem is a war memorial and a profoundly responsive work that gives new voice to Homer's level-voiced version of the world. Through a mix of narrative and musical repetition, the sequence becomes a meditation on the loss of human life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40679349420055,"sku":"9780393088670","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/51IRfDqfItL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1700182458","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/oswald-alice-memorialhb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
