{"product_id":"false-positive-geoff-peterson-9781665568685","title":"False-Positive: the Quarantine Verses","description":"A Book At War With Itself I had completed my earlier book, dotted the i's and licked the stamps, and then... SOMETHING HAPPENED and there was nothing more to say. -geoff peterson False-Positive is an author's kiss of death. Beginning in the silence that precedes thought, it slips between sleep and jolts of bad conscience. Comprised of fragments struggling to find a pulse, the work fails to achieve form. It will not gather or cohere. It cannot be satisfied. Peterson's latest is the record of a book nearly aborted, as forlorn as a teddy bear in back of a stolen car, and best viewed as a cry from a rented room during the latest pandemic. Unearthed one day from layers of ash, it could prove to be as time sensitive as a doomsday document. Reader Comments These quarantine poems are parables about growing old and sick, while finding threads of hope in all leftover things...a teddy bear or the beads of a rosary. -Andy Vinca, student of Machado's Compelling glimpses from inside the rabbit hole in which the poet awakens to a previous life and examines the missing pages that were omitted till he was ready to face them... Scraps of poems not made public but rather assembled by a family member or biographer as they disclose the man's exit. -Rich Culbertson, Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Damn, he's good! Any time I pick up his book I can open to any page and be restored to my senses. -Sharon Butler, artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoff Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1665568682\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781665568685\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Geoff Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077739540735,"sku":"9781665568685","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e102c3e-438d-42c0-9228-34ae444582c9.jpg?v=1685471526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/false-positive-geoff-peterson-9781665568685","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
