{"product_id":"crash-course-esteban-rodriguez-9781732952133","title":"Crash Course","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough lyric and narrative poems alike, the speaker of the poems in \u003cem\u003eCrash Course\u003c\/em\u003e attempts to understand the manner in which cultural traditions and expectations shape their understanding of the world. Watching a father patch up a truck ponders the effect of language across generations. A simple knock on the door provides a meditation on the immigrant experience, and the anxiety surrounding what it means to arrive with nothing in a different country. Other poems look at the complexity of familial relationships, dissecting specific moments that although appear mundane on the surface (shopping for items to put on layaway, barbecues, watching a cousin feed his pet snake), are - once fleshed out on the page - profound episodes that enlighten a labyrinth of memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esteban Rodriguez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732952132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732952133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saddle Road Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Esteban Rodriguez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983612936447,"sku":"9781732952133","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2152b9f-a693-47ad-89f1-9dbdbba1d311.jpg?v=1683267689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crash-course-esteban-rodriguez-9781732952133","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
