This is a haunted world in which exotic animals travel first class, an immigrant worker in Detroit yearns for the silence of his Siberian exile, and the Western mountains maintain that huge silence we think of as divine. \u003cbr\u003eA rich, deeply felt collection from one of our master poets.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Knopf","offers":[{"title":"News of the World | Philip Levine | Hardcover | 9780307272232 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1774416","offer_id":50755835199746,"sku":"1774416","price":20.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41P3A06rqiL.jpg?v=1792022878","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/news-of-the-world-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
