{"product_id":"lamentations-peregrinations-and-adumbrations-clarence-johnson-9781508626817","title":"Lamentations, Peregrinations, and Adumbrations","description":"As a passionate descrier of the systematic depopulation and aging of rural America, the poet creates pictures of the decaying towns and farms and laments their passing. He populates those towns and farms with the aging and, sometimes unwilling, citizens of the towns in which they were born and grew up. Some became loveable grotesques, some unfortunate symbols of the towns that rejected them. There is a significant amount of nostalgia here that some will call maudlin, perhaps because the emotion attached to these pictures makes them uncomfortable. There is love, hate, anger, and pity in the menagerie presented. It is worth considering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarence Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1508626812\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781508626817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 7.50w x 0.23d","brand":"Clarence Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459158257919,"sku":"9781508626817","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3c79033-763c-429a-971b-81cc5828512c.jpg?v=1777408271","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lamentations-peregrinations-and-adumbrations-clarence-johnson-9781508626817","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
