{"product_id":"9780991189540","title":"Ringing In the Wild","description":"\u003cbr\u003ePoetry. Beloved Sacramento poet Traci Gourdine has been a mainstay of the Northern California poetry scene for years. RINGING IN THE WILD is her debut full-length collection, long in coming.\u003cp\u003e\"Poems, like screenplays, lyricize. Words and pictures thread and needle us. Consider 'tired bras, proletariat panties \/ sleek cool satins \/ delicate lace made of thin air \/ all worth a month's salary \/ all for him' – and feel the weave of Traci Gourdine's spell. Consider 'steamy nights when all goes still' and young women who watch 'familiar men \/ light and gather noisily \/\/ crows on wires \/ men on front stoops' – and the pictures that her nudging, teasing poems almost begin complete. Still, mystery gathers. Consider 'They'll couple up with sudden dates \/ outside movie houses \/ karate films, stale popcorn \/ young girls popping gum, snapping Juicy Fruit in time \/ with the crisp click of thin heeled shoes' – and the reinforced heart of old-time heterosexual love and social need beats on. Gourdine's vivid poem-story reveries lay bare love-secrets we, all of us, covet and share.\"—Al Young\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ad Lumen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014041420016,"sku":"9780991189540","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780991189540_p0.jpg?v=1763894630","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780991189540","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
