Having lived variously in Scotland, the United States, Spain, France, Greece, Switzerland, Central and South America, Reid has until recently called Magazine his only permanent address. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany of the poems in \u003ci\u003eWeathering\u003c\/i\u003e arise from Reid's itinerant life. Chosen by the poet from previous books published on both sides of the Atlantic since the 1950s, they range from the windowed corridors of New York city to Isla Negra, Chile, where the poet sits 'with the Pacific between my toes.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether lyric or narrative, whether moved by wit, irony, or humor, all Reid's poems test the strength of language to 'summon the moment when amazement ran through the senses like a flame' and gauge the power of words to catch fire in an instant of realization. Including translations of poems by Pablo Neruda, Jorge Luis Borges, and Jose Emilio Pacheco, \u003ci\u003eWeathering\u003c\/i\u003e displays the diverse talents of the poet, the recurring preoccupations of the itinerant traveler, seeking to encompass the world with words.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.46 x 8.4 x 5.41 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1988\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42722463023167,"sku":"9780820309903","price":31.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/c20425cfe9905334a03d0374558607b8.webp?v=1765095847","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/weathering-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
