It is no surprise that these highly accessible poems have been projected nationally over the airwaves on National Public Radio. I like to think that these radio signals are forever shooting outward Pacheco's poems into deep space. If we are lucky, the signal may be picked up by radio telescopes on some Planet X, and those heavenly aliens will then have some of our capacity for wonderment, joy, and love. For those of us who live in Florida, which is America concentrate, we are especially in need of poets as irreverent and wise as Joe Pacheco.\"-\u003cb\u003eJames Brock\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Pacheco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595673651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595673650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Joseph Pacheco","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48435579715839,"sku":"9780595673650","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d97a7074-c0b7-4aa2-b99a-32ea2012333a.jpg?v=1777151323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alligator-in-the-sky-joseph-pacheco-9780595673650","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
