{"product_id":"9781935218340","title":"Come Now","description":"In Come Now, Rodger Gerberding reminds us of just how necessary the modernist's dogged desire to employ everything in the world: philosophies, myths, ideologies, art, snippets of conversation, jokes, the detritus of popular culture, to lyric effect has been for denizens of the so-called information age. These poems reflect a probing intellect and an emotional candor that position Gerberding as a poet who is utterly convinced by the urgent need for poetry in our contemporary world, and one who sets out to remind us of the beauty that is produced when a gifted writer practices what he believes.\u003cbr\u003e- Kwame Dawes, author of Duppy Conqueror: New and\u003cbr\u003eSelected Poems","brand":"The Backwaters Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033715753200,"sku":"9781935218340","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935218340_p0.jpg?v=1763656187","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935218340","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
