Spare, haunted, and haunting, yet not without hope, Double Shadow argues for life as a wilderness through which there's only the questing forward--with no regrets and no looking back.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDouble Shadow is a finalist for the 2011 National Book Award for Poetry\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWinner of the 2011 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Poetry\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA Boston Globe Best Poetry Book of 2011\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40780806619159,"sku":"9780374533151","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/9780374533151.jpg?v=1702683277","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/phillips-carl-double-sha","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
