{"product_id":"2940150681842","title":"Flinch Only a Little","description":"In his sixth book of poems, Charles Bachman, with an imagination that knows no limits and sharp eloquence of language, presents a fascinating variety, including more memories of his Iowa childhood, nature in its menacing and its beneficent aspects, as well as wildly experimental graphic effects and continued word inventions a la Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky. The mixed comedic\/serious tone of the title indicates the overall tomes of the book: whimsical and surrealistically farcical, serious and respectful, sensitive and gritty in facing whatever comes along. With each new volume, his stylistic control becomes more adept--whether it takes the form of a George Hebert-structured metaphysical poem, or of much freer verse. Part of his strength as a poet is that he really \"goes his own way,\" not following any poetic fashions or trends.","brand":"Virtualbookworm.com Publishing, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47112682733808,"sku":"2940150681842","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150681842_p0.jpg?v=1763751190","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150681842","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
