{"product_id":"jar-of-pennies-sean-karns-9781941561034","title":"Jar of Pennies","description":"\"Sean Karns will break your heart. The narrator of this collection makes starkly vivid the hardscrabble background of his life: an unhappy mother who works at the slaughterhouse, a father whose farm fails, a boy who loves both but plays the piano to escape. A group of poems referencing the likes of Walker Evans and James Agee enlarges the context considerably. There is a doomed affair, a brilliant dream sequence about the father, and a field of \"cornstalks...flutter ing] their death rattle.\" Deeply sad, profoundly moving, and seductively musical, these poems are a testament to survival and art.\" - KELLY CHERRY, author of The Life and Death of Poetry: Poems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Karns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941561039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941561034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New American Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.18d","brand":"Sean Karns","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983907782911,"sku":"9781941561034","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6922595-40fa-4933-94f7-5da9e27455ad.jpg?v=1683269408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jar-of-pennies-sean-karns-9781941561034","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
