{"product_id":"the-zoo-9780822957683","title":"The Zoo","description":"Joanie Mackowski's debut collection of poetry is meditative, vivid, sometimes weird. Turning an idiosyncratic eye to the inhabitants of zoos and fish tanks, cafes and cemeteries, she illuminates details that make the familiar seem strange. An egret stands \"still as a glass of milk\"; iceberg lettuce is a \"vegetable leviathan\" that \"extends beneath the dinner table \/ an unseen, monstrous green\"; a bald eagle may \"love a jet?-- \/ or worship them all, or mock them, rigid \/ freaks that never linger.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822957683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.04w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/19\/2001 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 65\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Joanie Mackowski","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52146977734837,"sku":"9780822957683","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f838c4b7-0c56-40a5-b48e-12662a3e32c2.jpg?v=1767678290","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-zoo-9780822957683","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
