The Poet’s Notebook: Inspiration, Techniques, and Advice on Craft

Description: Unlined, 6.75″x10.0″, 96 pages. Following the tremendous success of The Musician’s Notebook, this parchment notebook is a worthy companion for poets and wordsmiths of all ages. Part blank journal, part helpful workbook and reference, its pages are highlighted with insight from famous poets, an exercise to summon the muse, or the definition of a classic poetic technique, such as onomatopoeia and alliteration. The content is first-rate, and the format is wonderfully inspiring. This ingenious and useful writing too also includes a 6-page appendix with rules of form, meter, and rhythm, to help readers compose their own sonnets, haiku, and other poems.

Condition: overstock/like new except for very, very minor scratches/bumps.

Long before their supporting role in Sex and the City, Manolo Blahnik’s shoes were legendary—exquisitely detailed, unabashedly luxurious, and impossibly sexy. The epitome of sophistication and taste, they have graced the feet of royalty, supermodels, and movie stars. In these breathtaking pictures by Blahnik’s longtime friend, photographer Eric Boman, the shoes take center stage in a dazzling array of intriguing and often lighthearted scenes and settings. A white leather stiletto plays an incriminating role in a suggested crime worthy of Hitchcock. A pale green mule nestles among ferns in homage to Blahnik’s recurring botanical themes. The straps of a sandal echo the strands of spaghetti in which it lays entwined. Boman’s unerring eye and oddly keen understanding of Blahnik’s creations make for spellbinding pictures, full of wit, playfulness, and sole. Elegant allusions to Blahnik’s eclectic influences abound—from the cinema to history, from the natural world to art and literature. As covetable as a pair of Manolos, this is a book of consummate creativity, addictive power, and unrivaled individuality: a cult object on a cult designer.
