{"product_id":"9780822979364","title":"First Course In Turbulence","description":"Finalist for \u003ci\u003eForeWord Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 1999 Poetry Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With rapid shifts between subject and tone, sometimes within single poems, Dean Young’s latest book explores the kaleidoscopic welter of art and life. Here parody does not exclude the \u003ci\u003ecri de coeur\u003c\/i\u003e any more than seriousness excludes the joke. With surrealist volatility, these poems are the result of experiments that continue for the reader during each reading. Young moves from reworkings of creation myths, the index of the \u003ci\u003eNorton Anthology of Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e, pseudo reports and memos, collaged biographies, talking clouds, and worms, to memory, mourning, sexual playfulness, and deep sadness in the course of this turbulent book.","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081163817200,"sku":"9780822979364","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780822979364_p0.jpg?v=1763753661","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780822979364","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
