Zapruder deftly improvises upon language and lyricism as he passionately engages with these questions during turbulent, uncertain times. Whether interrogating the personalities of the Supreme Court, watching a child grow off into a distance, or tweaking poetry critics and hipsters alike, Zapruder maintains a deeply generous sense of humor alongside a rich vein of love and moral urgency. The poems in \u003ci\u003eFather's Day\u003c\/i\u003e harbor a radical belief in the power of wonder and awe to sustain the human project while guiding it forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Zapruder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556595786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556595783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/23\/2019 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/17\/2019","brand":"Matthew Zapruder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994275053823,"sku":"9781556595783","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0a13afeb-2046-4bdb-b7ed-fff257935d0f.jpg?v=1683329173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fathers-day-matthew-zapruder-9781556595783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
