{"product_id":"a-crash-of-rhinos-paisley-rekdal-9780820322735","title":"A Crash of Rhinos: Poems","description":"In these quizzically probing and provocative poems, atoms and torture, tattoos and laundromats, mug shots, the theory of light, and such personalities as Joe Louis and Bruce Lee join in shaping a simultaneously personal and historical narrative of love, family, and desire. The tension between the public and the private saturates these poems with a breathless energy that carries the reader through Rekdal's self-aware depiction of American culture and romance, complete with Harlequin romance novels and an account of her parents' courtship. Though Rekdal delights in turning traditional images of love upside down, what she finally offers is a grateful and graceful view of humanity, which convinces us that, as she says in \"Convocation\" \"Nothing is a single moment . . . \/ No private event lacks history.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paisley Rekdal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820322733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820322735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.52w x 0.28d","brand":"Paisley Rekdal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994162528511,"sku":"9780820322735","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f789fbc3-6b27-46b5-9d69-1ef68777829c.jpg?v=1683328497","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-crash-of-rhinos-paisley-rekdal-9780820322735","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
