{"product_id":"biography-of-a-name-bill-rector-9781947021341","title":"Biography of a Name","description":"Biography of a Name, a poem in free verse and prose, uses the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa as a vehicle (call it a Buick sedan with plenty of room in the trunk), to explore identity and loss in modern America. It visits Depression-era Detroit, New Jersey, football stadiums, assembly lines, jails, backyard swing sets, and gravel pits, and it listens as it drives on I-40 to country music strummed on three strands of slack barbed wire. At the end, the poem pulls up at a bar where humor and pain are drinking together, looking at their watches, waiting for the punchline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Rector\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947021346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947021341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unsolicited Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.06d","brand":"Bill Rector","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445948985599,"sku":"9781947021341","price":16.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_01b199fb-0860-4db1-b7fe-ac8f833ca034.jpg?v=1777221693","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biography-of-a-name-bill-rector-9781947021341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
