For thirty years, Ron Carlson has joked about writing one poem a year, and to look for his book of them in 2012. The joke came true: \u003ci\u003eRoom Service: Poems, Meditations, Outcries and Remarks\u003c\/i\u003e is a genre-bending collection of traditional verse, prose poetry, microfiction, and--why not?--a play or two, dancing easily from the lyrical to the surreal to the comical, capturing the long sweep of life s simple necessities and small triumphs. Brimming with Carlson s signature good humor, these pieces were written over many years in many places, and are unified, as befits a first book of poetry, by hope. \u003ci\u003eRoom Service\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us why poetry is necessary, and will leave you wondering what took him so long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ron Carlson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597092339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597092333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.54w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2012 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/13\/2012","brand":"Ron Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068724605183,"sku":"9781597092333","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ff767fe-5e07-4a46-a661-066874bfad5e.jpg?v=1685420641","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/room-service-ron-carlson-9781597092333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
