{"product_id":"letter-to-so-and-so-from-wherever-mike-dockins-9781936196494","title":"Letter to So-And-So from Wherever","description":"\"Dazzling and dizzying are the two words that come to mind after reading Mike Dockins' latest collection of poetry, Letters to So-and-So from Wherever. In this remarkable compilation of letter-poems, Dockins is a darkly comic contemporary Whitman-his language as rich and stunning, his reach as exuberant and far-ranging. From the hilariously poignant opening missive to Santa Claus to the final lines of 'Letter to Sanders from Academia'-his zany critique of (among other things) academia and corporate America-this book will carry you on a brilliant and wildly magnificent ride.\" Beth Gylys, Spot in the Dark \"The thousand injuries of wasting through nearly eight years-eight years - between books by Mike Dockins  I have grown thin and ragged. O how the insufferable suffering of the universe has screamed-no, yawped-for this. It was well worth the wait. America's book reviewers take note upon your iPads: here's the language laid brutally honest and crankified. Find and grip tiny thesauri to discover violent verbs that describe this assault: a pummeling, whomping, pugilating new collection.\" Jamie Iredell, I Was a Fat Drunk Catholic School Insomniac\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Dockins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936196492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936196494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e C\u0026amp;r Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Mike Dockins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074245357823,"sku":"9781936196494","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8fe91d8b-1c90-4e94-8e74-5d4b86abd38c.jpg?v=1685452636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/letter-to-so-and-so-from-wherever-mike-dockins-9781936196494","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
