{"product_id":"9780871406798","title":"Collected Poems by Reginald Dwayne Betts","description":"Robert Hayden was one of the most important American poets of the twentieth century. He left behind an exquisite body of work, collected in this definitive edition, including A Ballad of Remembrance, Words in the Mourning Time, The Night-Blooming Cereus, Angle of Ascent, and American Journal, which was nominated for a National Book Award. Also included is an introduction by American poet Reginald Dwayne Betts, as well as an afterword by Arnold Rampersad that provides a critical and historical context. In Hayden's work the actualities of history and culture became the launching places for flights of imagination and intelligence. His voice-characterized by musical diction and an exquisite feeling for the formality of pattern-is a seminal one in American life and literature.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56311994122613,"sku":"9780871406798","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780871406798.jpg?v=1762820220","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780871406798","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
