{"product_id":"headline-news-john-deming-9781945023101","title":"Headline News","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"It is difficult to get the news from poems,\" wrote William Carlos Williams, \"yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.\" In \u003cem\u003eHeadline News\u003c\/em\u003e, John Deming gives us the news and makes a poem of it, springboarding into a prosody informed by brevity, clarity and precision, a kind of decalinear sonnet unfolding itself into blossom. Deming's great gift here is a capacious and capricious mindfulness, improvising and responding to the deadpan lunacy of newspaper headlines in such a way as to make them seem almost mystical. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--D. A. POWELL \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHeadline News\u003c\/em\u003e, John Deming makes us feel the strangeness of what we've been hearing and seeing in 21st century America. Reading these poems, \"I'm feeling weirder\/and clearer tonight.\" Quoted headlines appear in all caps, but the rest of the writing is equally telegraphic and punchy--until we get punch drunk, wondering what's real news and what isn't. This mix-up seems telling and inevitable now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--RAE ARMANTROUT \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Deming\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945023104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945023101\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indolent Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.24d","brand":"John Deming","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940258316543,"sku":"9781945023101","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d60fec04-d7f8-405d-ad57-ca3e50ce7325.jpg?v=1681446158","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/headline-news-john-deming-9781945023101","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
