{"product_id":"9781939574114","title":"The Dark Lord of the Tiki Bar","description":"The Dark Lord of the Tiki Bar is Quincy R. Lehr's ferocious new collection, his first book since 2014's Heimat. Frequently laugh-out-loud funny but always dead serious, these poems are topical, allusive, angry, and often satirical, but with a vulnerable emotional core. Lehr's verse avoids easy sloganeering, but one can shake one's fist to its indignant cadences. Political without didacticism, emotional without sentimentality, and formal without a whiff of archaism, The Dark Lord of the Tiki Bar evokes a place where Biblical figures rub shoulders with Aleister Crowley, where kitsch insinuates itself into the Classics, and where the bar is open a bit later than is strictly advisable. It is a book to stir the imagination and make the bozos cry like little children.","brand":"Measure Press Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033499484400,"sku":"9781939574114","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781939574114_p0.jpg?v=1763665880","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781939574114","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
