{"product_id":"stutter-poems-9780820338811","title":"Stutter: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilliter's poems, spaced to stutter on the page, create a compelling yet dark world of small-town childhood that is disorienting and not all that bucolic. The town of Shinbone is an intense place: boys set bottles of cheap aftershave on fire, which segues with uncomfortable ease into grandmother's killing axe dispatching chickens and Soup's hand shredded in the corn dryer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection pushes a recollected past to an extreme, replacing memory with myth and lacing narratives of disfigurement, accident, wildness, and murder with a strange enchantment. Childhood here is no idyll, but rather the dreamlike entryway to the desires, doubts, and dismay of adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820338811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.57w x 0.20d","brand":"William Billiter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42599655211189,"sku":"9780820338811","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e0fd2d39-f823-455d-882b-4afca4a3b104.jpg?v=1673999535","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/stutter-poems-9780820338811","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
