Still, it would take a very ordinary reader to find a culpable artificiality in Thomas Whitbread's poems. Their language has a supple openness, as of an amiable and intelligent man talking; both in its playfulness and in its gravity, it avoids the stagey; and it easily enlists any suitable form in the pursuit and sharpening of its point.\"\u003cstrong\u003e—Richard Wilbur\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e© BOA Editions, Ltd. 1982. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":8419401157,"sku":"9780918526311","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cloth","offer_id":38544832201,"sku":"9780918526304","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cloth (Signed)","offer_id":38544832265,"sku":"9780918526304","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/0178\/products\/Whomp_and_Moonshiver.jpg?v=1527683787","url":"https:\/\/shop.boaeditions.org\/products\/whomp-and-moonshiver","provider":"Boa Editions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
