{"product_id":"9781614981022","title":"Dreams from a Black Nebula","description":"For the past decade, Wade German has become increasingly well-known as a leading figure in weird poetry. In this, his first volume of poetry, German displays the literary polish and weird imagination that has thrust him into the forefront of his field.\u003cp\u003eGerman draws upon such predecessors as H. P. Lovecraft, George Sterling, and Clark Ashton Smith in the crafting of impeccable sonnets whose every word conveys a soupçon of terror and fantasy. Edgar Allan Poe, Robert W. Chambers, and Jack Vance provide the inspiration for other poems that fuse weirdness, pathos, and mystery in an inextricable amalgam.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut German's work is far from derivative. Although devoted to such traditional forms as the sonnet, the sestina, and the quatrain, his occasional use of free verse is no less meticulous and artistic, conveying in a looser idiom the weird conceptions and images that percolate in his imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWade German\u003c\/b\u003e is a widely published poet whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eDreams and Nightmares\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWeird Fiction Review\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNameless\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpectral Realms\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSpace and Time\u003c\/i\u003e, and many other books and periodicals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hippocampus Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061989392624,"sku":"9781614981022","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781614981022_p0.jpg?v=1763849454","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781614981022","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
