{"product_id":"its-just-you-me-mr-moon-9781733824637","title":"It's Just You \u0026 Me, Mr. Moon","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"In the first poem of this collection, Peter Hamer shows us Weldon Kees at his typewriter, making art \"for a future that looks\/as empty and bleak\/as the present\"--thereby flashing Kees out of the mid-twentieth century into our time. Here are the haze of cigarette smoke, the taste of whiskey, jazz\u003cbr\u003e on the soundtrack, walk-ons by Pope Francis and Frida Kahlo, and locations chosen or invented by Hamer, the poet-director. Here is his version of Kees' shadow\/symbol . . . presented as an obsession. These poems about Kees offer mysteries, deeply appropriate for a man whose life story includes his sudden disappearance in 1955--a mystery still, serving here as a touchstone for Hamer's poetry.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Judith Arcana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Peter Hamer's debut explores a groundbreaking potential for mystery. Lines like, \"Sounds of the harbor clanked around us. \/ Salt breeze carried a tang of diesel \/ and sewage. \/ A clock chimed some ways off. \/ He checked his watch. Cinderella hour\" bring this poetical film noir to life. For the reader interested in both story and lyricism, \u003cem\u003e It's Just You \u0026amp; Me, Mr. Moon\u003c\/em\u003e is in a revelatory league of its own.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Hannah Beresford, Poetry Editor at No Tokens\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e First Matter Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733824637\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.24d","brand":"Peter Hamer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36667914944668,"sku":"9781733824637","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_adb81023-8005-49f1-95ee-6f738ab181d2.jpg?v=1603916145","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/its-just-you-me-mr-moon-9781733824637","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
