{"product_id":"9780374618018","title":"There Lives a Young Girl in Me Who Will Not Die: Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy the acclaimed author of \u003ci\u003eThe Copenhagen Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, a startling and darkly funny volume of selected poetry, the first to be translated into English.  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom one of Denmark’s most celebrated twentieth-century writers, the author of the acclaimed \u003ci\u003eCopenhagen Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, comes\u003ci\u003e There Lives a Young Girl in Me Who Will Not Die\u003c\/i\u003e, a major volume of selected poetry written throughout Tove Ditlevsen’s life. Infused with the same wry nihilism, quiet intensity, dark humor, and crystalline genius that readers savor in her prose, these are heartbreak poems, childhood poems, self-portraits, death poems, wounded poems, confessional poems, and love poems—poems that stare into the surfaces that seduce and deceive us. They describe childhood, longing, loss, and memory, obsessively tracing their imprints and intrusions upon everyday life. With morbid curiosity, Ditlevsen’s poems turn toward the uncanny and the abject, approaching daily disappointment with vivid, unsparing detail.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpeaking across generations to both the passions of youth and the agonies of adulthood, \u003ci\u003eThere Lives a Young Girl in Me Who Will Not Die\u003c\/i\u003e reveals everyday life stripped of its excesses, exposing its bones and bare qualities: the meaningful and the meaningless. These startling, resonant poems are both canonical and contemporary, and demand to be shared with friends, loved ones, nemeses, and strangers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43084219088957,"sku":"9780374618018","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780374618018_p0.jpg?v=1778628928","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9780374618018","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
