{"product_id":"stutter-william-billiter-9780820338811","title":"Stutter: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eBilliter's poems, spaced to stutter on the page, create a compelling yet dark world of small-town childhood that is disorienting and not all that bucolic. The town of Shinbone is an intense place: boys set bottles of cheap aftershave on fire, which segues with uncomfortable ease into grandmother's killing axe dispatching chickens and Soup's hand shredded in the corn dryer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection pushes a recollected past to an extreme, replacing memory with myth and lacing narratives of disfigurement, accident, wildness, and murder with a strange enchantment. Childhood here is no idyll, but rather the dreamlike entryway to the desires, doubts, and dismay of adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Billiter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820338818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820338811\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.57w x 0.20d","brand":"William Billiter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926509715711,"sku":"9780820338811","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2bacce72-2315-4ef4-a5c7-35805c788f4e.jpg?v=1681083475","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stutter-william-billiter-9780820338811","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
