In a series of prose poems about showbiz, he re imagines Cookie Monster as a burned-out suicide, and cheesy talk-show host Joe Franklin as a cross-dressing witness to the apocalypse. And in \"For Charlotte, Unlisted\" he wrenchingly tracks the elusive memory of a faded romance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Catapult\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593765040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.31h x 5.60w x 0.52d","brand":"Mike Doughty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42835546013877,"sku":"9781593765040","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7b43c280-5dcd-466b-84f3-fd64b3cf67c4.jpg?v=1681222680","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/slanky-9781593765040","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
