{"product_id":"frowny-face-howie-good-9781959346258","title":"frowny face","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe double threat that is Howie Good is on full-tilt boogie display in this uber-cool combo of prose poetry and original collage. Good is a master of both genres, and this collection sings with the beautiful exchange of words and images on every page. From the stark horror of everyday headlines to nursery rhymes to clocks that strike thirteen, Good takes us everywhere his imagination wants, always with his signature punch of the unexpected. Laid out in an almost storybook manner, \u003ci\u003efrowny face\u003c\/i\u003e will take you back in some comforting way to when you were little, curled up, and wanting to hear a favorite story read to you just once more. And one more time after that. This book is a triumph, to be sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Francine Witte, author of\u003ci\u003e Just Outside the Tunnel of Love\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowie Good's new prose poem collection, \u003ci\u003efrowny face\u003c\/i\u003e, portrays a baleful world whose ominous sights and scenes haunt an often-perplexed speaker who, despite their puzzlement, is a precise observer of, and brilliant guide through, an apocalyptic darkness. Illustrated by Good's cannily collaged images, \u003ci\u003efrowny face \u003c\/i\u003eleads the reader through a menacing dusk in which \"every street is a crime scene, every person both suspect and victim,\" toward a searing light that reveals \"the world is still a funny kind of free.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Brad Rose, author of \u003ci\u003eLucky Animals \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e No. Wait.

A triumph of Weltschmerz and humor. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Colin Dardis, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Dogs of Humanity \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e the x of y\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howie Good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1959346253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959346258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Redhawk Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Howie Good","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598302441727,"sku":"9781959346258","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ae09b05-be7e-408c-8cb3-52ff1a7ebc03.jpg?v=1702381746","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frowny-face-howie-good-9781959346258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
