{"product_id":"concertina-joseph-bathanti-9780881464702","title":"Concertina","description":"In 1976, Joseph Bathanti left his home in Pittsburgh for a fourteen- month sojourn as a VISTA Volunteer with the North Carolina Department of Correction. His new volume of poems, CONCERTINA, recounts in lyrical sweep his entry into the surreal, brutal, and often terrifyingly beautiful netherworld of convicts and their keepers. It is a world with one foot still firmly planted in the old chain gang, the other venturing beyond the manacles of history into a realm of second chances, while the country, in the throes of its bicentennial celebration, still swoons from Watergate and its aftermath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Bathanti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0881464708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780881464702\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 10\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize - Finalist","brand":"Joseph Bathanti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443735474431,"sku":"9780881464702","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_36ea3b8d-f72f-47e9-8892-456352ca5746.jpg?v=1777207484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/concertina-joseph-bathanti-9780881464702","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
