{"product_id":"9781625490292","title":"Tiger Upstairs on Connecticut Avenue","description":"TIGER UPSTAIRS ON CONNECTICUT AVENUE is the perfect title for Elisavietta Ritchie's new collection: roaring, juxtaposing the outrageous and the mundane, and leaving nothing from her omnivorous imagination.\u003cp\u003e\"...reading some of her poems is akin to watching a wick sizzle down on a firecracker, waiting for the pop, the smoke, and the final hiss...Whether looking through the scrim into death, or looking back through history at her own family, I imagine Ritchie to be some mad cheerleader for passion, stealing blackberries, loving a dying friend, or recuperating from a bad mushroom trip, all the while refusing to give up, to be satiated... . Life and death. Passion and its opposite, her touchstones...that give her voice power; after all 'like fire, when we no longer burn, we die.'\"--Scott Whitaker\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WordTech Communications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053255704816,"sku":"9781625490292","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781625490292_p0.jpg?v=1763863833","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781625490292","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
