{"product_id":"box-office-gospel-marissa-glover-9780881468762","title":"Box Office Gospel","description":"Marissa Glover once again addresses herself, with her signature wit, to matters political and personal, sacred and profane, in a voice at once disarmingly colloquial and slyly erudite. Varying tonal registers with an easy grace, she ranges freely over national affairs of great historical importance and tiny, shrewdly observed incidents from domestic life. Above all, the poems chronicle the most vital and abiding forms of societal interrelation--between mothers and sons, husbands and wives, leaders and their people, if not even, on the grandest of scales, gods and their children. Biblical and literary characters keep company with contemporary pop culture icons and news figures ripped from yesterday's headlines. As the book title suggests, Glover takes special aim at the distinctly American pantheon of cinematic celebrities, whose various longings and foibles have come to form a kind of shared cultural vocabulary with which to interpret, and communicate, our own off-screen travails.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marissa Glover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881468762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881468762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercer University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.91w x 0.32d","brand":"Marissa Glover","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133221335295,"sku":"9780881468762","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac1a7ced-8836-4295-8b42-ae40cd4d1e3f.jpg?v=1687484804","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/box-office-gospel-marissa-glover-9780881468762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
