{"product_id":"jagged-tune-rob-talbert-9781941196113","title":"Jagged Tune","description":"\"How can the world be anything but a music made out of what we are, a jagged tune, a knife song, a wild blood and bone aria? In Rob Talbert's energetic, frightening, human, kinetic collection we can hear every note. I want to download this book into the musical score it is and listen to it whenever I'm alone but desperately need the world.\" -Matthew Dickman \"Rob Talbert's Jagged Tune is a gorgeous post-industrial lyric hymn to minimum-wage jobs: from corrections officer to pawn shop employee to cruise ship attendant to insurance certificate specialist to retail clerk to unemployed and back again, Talbert's poems-hewn from life experience-contrast the constraints of work with the ecstasy of nightclubs, their \"feral engine\" and \"deep recess of liquor techno.\" \"My life depends on night,\" he writes, and this is a nocturnal book that embraces the wonder of darkness, its broken song. I am awed by these poems-their unyielding eye, their deft music, their capacity for wisdom, and all the ways in which they illuminate facets of the American experience that we rarely see.\" -Erika Meitner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Talbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194119611X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941196113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Madhat Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.24d","brand":"Rob Talbert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440154751231,"sku":"9781941196113","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a93ddaa5-cbbe-4f3c-b6ab-467ec0e0948a.jpg?v=1777180558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jagged-tune-rob-talbert-9781941196113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
