{"product_id":"a-little-grief-break-derrick-c-brown-9781949342888","title":"A Little Grief Break: The Collected Poems","description":"A Little Grief Break is a thirty-year retrospective from one of contemporary poetry's most electrifying voices--a collection that refuses to sit still. Derrick C. Brown has spent three decades honing a singular poetic style that marries devastating emotional precision with sharp humor, bar-stool philosophy with literary craft, and the raw immediacy of performance with the carefully wrought architecture of the page. This 300-page collection gathers the essential poems from Brown's ten previous books alongside nineteen new works in Night Collapser, creating a portrait of a poet who has never stopped taking risks. Here are poems that detonate with laughter before breaking your heart in the next breath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derrick C.
