{"product_id":"9781776560837","title":"Dark Days at the Oxygen Cafe","description":"\u003cp\u003eJames Norcliffe is one of New Zealand’s most widely published and anthologised poets. In \u003ci\u003eDark Days at the Oxygen Café\u003c\/i\u003e, he looks over the shoulders of many characters and creatures, both real and imagined, and takes us deep into uncanny valleys. Poems about Seneca and James Dean sit alongside poems about a Turken dictator and an owl man. We share in a portentous UFO sighting, a small celebration for Laika the space dog, and Peter the Great being offered an Air New Zealand lolly. These scenes from myth, history, pop culture and personal experience make for a wryly funny, deeply felt collection that contemplates the quirks of shared and personal histories.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Victoria University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061631598832,"sku":"9781776560837","price":16.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781776560837_p0.jpg?v=1763711965","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781776560837","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
