{"product_id":"a-new-kind-of-country","title":"A New Kind of Country","description":"Kyle Schlesinger’ s poems and prose texts speak in a voice that gets beneath the skin of these times, pointing us in and beyond ourselves. “ The words are in the body \/ The body is in the mind” he tells us. And “ What’ s on television” he asks, then admits “ Just another hallucination.” Green light and pink lighting permeate this work. “ You wouldn’ t believe it \/ If I told you \/ That I was where \/ You thought you were \/ When we heard the news.” We need these words of Kyle’ s to help us shoulder that news— fake and otherwise— aimed at us each day. The twoline poem, “ Split,” is worth quoting in full: “ We were \/ Now we’ re.” And poems such as “ It’ s a Freak Out” deliver a sophisticated humor. A wholly original book. — Margaret Randall\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1946104256\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1946104256.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Schlesinger, Kyle|Dine, Jim\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43525778210877,"sku":"BVV.1946104256.VG","price":27.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/1946104256-0.jpg?v=1787951790","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/a-new-kind-of-country","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
