Rendered with a dazzling array of structures and allusions, these poems describe―and become―a strange gallery of paintings and portraits. She offers a Polaroid left on a windshield, step-by-step instructions for \"Drawing for Absolute Beginners,\" a stereoscope with a box of slides. Both an homage to and a warning against nonexistent things, Barter introduces a vibrant new voice and a new way of seeing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanuary 1, 2003\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FREEAIR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45536419840322,"sku":"","price":8.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/8735\/3154\/files\/barter.jpg?v=1688934079","url":"https:\/\/shop.freeairbooks.com\/products\/barter-poems-monica-youn","provider":"FREEAIR Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
