{"product_id":"9781935166009","title":"The Aesthetic Astronaut: sonnets by Roger Armbrust","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne hundred twenty-two sonnets that touch on contemporary American popular culture, social trends, and personalities. Poet Roger Armbrust is described by some as a mystic, by others as a spiritualist, and by yet others as a guy who toys with really big thoughts, making them objects both of serious study and of humor.  His sonnets will push you to laughter and meditation: a satisfying literary ride. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Aesthetic Astronaut\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e, Roger Armbrust escorts readers on an insightful journey throughout Earth and beyond. We experience the loneliness and instpiration of \"the Aesthetic Astronaut\"; cold-blooded calculations of \"The Armchair Assassin\"; passion and sense of the romantic lover; reflective memories of a gentle heart growing older; ironic vision of an observer to history, and subtle—and sometimes not so subtle—humor of a fellow human involved in our day-to-day challenge of living a worthwhile life. The poet's imagery and attitude. . . may fascinate, thrill, sadden, anger, or push you to laughter or meditation. But you'll find the trip a fascinating literary ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkhurst Brothers Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033766707440,"sku":"9781935166009","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935166009_p0.jpg?v=1763656092","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935166009","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
