{"product_id":"book-1314","title":"John Donne","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough the poet John Donne lived so long ago, some phrases from his writing still linger with us today, such as \"no man is an island,\" \"death be not proud,\" and \"for whom the bell tolls,\" which provided the title for one of Ernest Hemingway's novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Donne used poems as a means of metaphysical inquiry and meditation as well as for very sensual expression. His daringly original use of imagery and conceits to lead the mind to profound understandings marked a new, intellectual approach to poetry. Like Shakespeare, Donne was a genius at making common words yield up rich, poetic meaning. His thought is complex, but his poems unfold in a logical way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection includes songs, satires, elegies, selections from \u003ci\u003eThe Anniversaries\u003c\/i\u003e, and divine poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents are:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eI.
