{"product_id":"9781935520016","title":"Bones \u0026 Jokes","description":"In his first full length collection, Bones \u0026amp; Jokes, published by NYQ Books, Ted Jonathan delivers up poems and stories out of a gritty urban reality that are as raw and original as the characters and streets from which they come. Jonathan weaves the language of the street into a rhythmic frenzy that pleases the ear in both his poetry and prose. He uses this lyricism like the stealth of a cat bringing its owner a mouse to seek a greater understanding of things like violent childhood icons, poker games, and hookers and lays that understanding at the feet of the reader as proof of life. Bones \u0026amp; Jokes is savage, joyous, profound and dead on funny, but behind it all is a gentle love and clear sanity that makes it all memorable.","brand":"NYQ Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052627181808,"sku":"9781935520016","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935520016_p0.jpg?v=1763656838","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935520016","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
