{"product_id":"the-wish-book-9781571314505","title":"The Wish Book","description":"In his first collection since \u003ci\u003eFancy Beasts\u003c\/i\u003e, a book that \"slice d] straight through nerve and marrow on its way to the heart and mind of the matter\" (Tracy K. Smith), Alex Lemon dazzles us again with his exuberance and candor. Whether in unrestrained descriptions of sensory overload or tender meditations on fatherhood and mortality, Lemon blurs that nebulous line between the personal and the pop-cultural. These poems are full of frenetic energy and images pleasantly, strangely colliding: jigsaws and bathtubs and kung-fu and X-rays. It's a distinct brand of edginess that readers of Lemon will once again applaud. A lean and muscular collection, \u003ci\u003eThe Wish Book \u003c\/i\u003emarks a new high in this poet's unstoppable career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2014 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/2014\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Alex Lemon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660150141084,"sku":"9781571314505","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_9d705d52-d13d-4a4a-a37a-401b14859ea2.jpg?v=1603896207","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-wish-book-9781571314505","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
