{"product_id":"le-spleen-de-poughkeepsie-joshua-harmon-9781931968928","title":"Le Spleen de Poughkeepsie","description":"Winner of the 2010 Akron Poetry Prize, Le Spleen de Poughkeepsie is a tender anti-epic, a grunge-tinged love song to America's benighted post-industrial heartland. Harmon's Poughkeepsie shimmers just beyond the borders of banal recognition. If you're not part of the problem, \/ you're part of the lengthening \/ tragedy, Harmon writes in an introductory pastoral, seeking out the stray \/ detours and workarounds of the secret \/ city inside the more obvious one] on the outskirts of the absurd \/ attention to the material life. Poughkeepsie is that city of the heart where no one can look at anyone else alone, where the noise of beauty is a cop's bullet polishing off a traffic-struck doe, where five dollars takes you anywhere in this town \/ except out of it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joshua Harmon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1931968926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931968928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Akron Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 93\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Joshua Harmon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097103999231,"sku":"9781931968928","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/le-spleen-de-poughkeepsie-joshua-harmon-9781931968928","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
