In Robert Archambeau's words, \"Fluent, honest, and undeceivable, Mark Scroggins is just what a critic ought to be.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 19, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52701689545011,"sku":"9781941196342","price":38.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TFJ4OFBJYituQVdlRHBtcS9hekxEdz09.webp?v=1763272701","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-mathematical-sublime-writing-about-poetry-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
