{"product_id":"peyton-place-a-haiku-soap-opera-9781933527819","title":"Peyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"David Trinidad turns the paste jewels of pop art into the real thing.\"--James Schuyler\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"In David Trinidad's \u003ci\u003ePeyton Place: A Haiku Soap Opera\u003c\/i\u003e, the moment-by-moment particulars of traditional haiku collide with the time-stretching serial narratives of contemporary soap operas. As Trinidad's haiku chart the changing seasons, don't be surprised if the snow falling under moonlight is artificial, dumped by overworked stagehands off-camera. Seventeen syllables mediated by television--the continuing story of \u003ci\u003ePeyton Place\u003c\/i\u003e making a high-def splash in Basho's pond.\"--Tony Trigilio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The world of art can appear anywhere, so it's no wonder to me that Trinidad finds something worthwhile in producing a haiku for each of the episodes of \u003ci\u003ePeyton Place\u003c\/i\u003e and that, embedded in the strange curl of Dorothy Malone's hairdo, is yet one more space still untouched and undefined by a poet.\"--Manuel Muñoz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the continuing story of \u003ci\u003ePeyton Place\u003c\/i\u003e. One irreverent haiku for each of the over five hundred prime time 1960s era \"adult\" soap opera episodes. Fraught relationships, courtroom cliffhangers, and sensational storylines are condensed into seventeen-syllable episodes, as stereotypic characters weather the passing TV seasons. This haiku soap epic is ingenious, funny, and totally addictive.
