{"product_id":"9780995654129","title":"Wolfe and Other Poems","description":"Wolfe is a modern retelling of the story of Beowulf, which relocates the action to Texas in the late 19th Century. When a strange, beguiling creature is found to have slaughtered first the cattle of a lonely ranch, then one of its labourers, the fate of the locals is placed in the hands of an out-of-towner, a calm and confident young man by the name of Billy Wolfe. Rattle originally published the work as a limited chapbook in the US, and it has come to be seen by many as a modern classic. It has been studied in schools in Texas. It is a captivating adventure tale and it reads as a compelling examination of the shadow side of the United States, in the past and in the present. Wolfe is published here alongside a collection of Williams' short poems in book form for the first time. \"Donald Mace Williams' \"Wolfe\" is a flawless epic, and in turning the legend of Beowulf into a critique of man's encroachment on nature, it has a chance at ringing the bell of the current zeitgeist.\" - Timothy Green, Editor of Rattle","brand":"Wundor Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024221356272,"sku":"9780995654129","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780995654129_p0.jpg?v=1763901118","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780995654129","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
