{"product_id":"9780819569325","title":"Exposition Park","description":"\u003cp\u003eImagine a walking tour of stanzas and prose poems that give lyric voice to sight, public speech, and spectacle. In Exhibition Park, Roberto Tejada delivers a command performance in mixed genres that compel an array of literary styles. His poetry undertakes a wide range of subjects motivated by artworks from Latin America and the United States covering the colonial period to the present day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn serial poems, short sketches, guidebook parodies, painterly triptychs, translations, and other word-based dioramas, Tejada coins wonder with historical styles—baroque, classic, and experimental. As likened to a world’s fair, the resulting voices intone global stories, the dream life of art, and first-person atmospheres both premodern and postindustrial. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Tejada’s work is with dismantling borders and upsetting classifications... The result is a layered poetry that finds its form in dense stanzas composed of lines that frequently veer toward a kind of fractured prose…”—Alan Gilbert in Another Future: Poetry and Modern Art in a Postmodern Twilight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You walk through his world as a voyeur, a traveler of mirrors, witnessing your own reflection in the masses of flesh, simultaneously aroused and disturbed at the same time. Tejada’s work is an invitation, a window into another world, unabashedly erotic, and succinct.”—Christine Lark Fox, Poetry Project Newsletter, about Mirrors for Gold\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016793178352,"sku":"9780819569325","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780819569325_p0.jpg?v=1763754453","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780819569325","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
