It also includes vivid, lively, and imaginative responses to quirky words, a jazz standard, family members, celebrities, and several paintings. As one reader has said, \"In his poems filled with quotidian experience, the objects of the material world shimmer with consequence: they are alight with attention--McFee's, and through his art, ours. He is one of our best poets.\" \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46310808748183,"sku":"9780887486869","price":1553.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780887486869.webp?v=1767701610","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-long-time-to-be-gone-9780887486869","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
