{"product_id":"9781597094665","title":"Flip Days","description":"\u003cp\u003eUsing Hollywood screenplay structure to illustrate a life in three acts, eighteen scenes, each with two poems as mirrors to action, filmmaker\/poet Lawrence Bridges sequences through tragicomic plot twists and subplots to create a character-driven, novel-like book of lyric poems. An unnamed protagonist is torn from a lover, torn from himself, in perpetual transition while starting a new family, surrounded by a lively array of colleagues and friends as his career implodes, asserting his autonomy only to become part of life's \"conspiracies.\" Strangers shift around him in a murky world beyond his control, a world with signs of indeterminacy and happenstance: Restaurant patrons smile innocently while thieves quietly rob, a death pact is used to escape a lover, disguised signals from space aliens announce that our enemies are now their allies. \u003ci\u003eHow do you tie up loose ends when characters we like are actually the bad guys?\u003c\/i\u003e Bridges prods us to \u003ci\u003eanswer the main question\u003c\/i\u003e: Can a man love as his world spells farewell? A unique, delightful read—an invitation to explore something new in what may be a new genre fusing some of the elements of screenplay with poetry. \u003ci\u003eToday is already yesterday to tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e, in \u003ci\u003eFlip Days\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Red Hen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052701204720,"sku":"9781597094665","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781597094665_p0.jpg?v=1763810326","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781597094665","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
