{"product_id":"july-9781946448781","title":"July","description":"In her groundbreaking and most politicized collection, Kathleen Ossip takes a hard look at the U.S.A. as it now stands. She meditates on our various responses to our country--whether ironic, infantile, righteous, or defeated. Her diction is both high and low, her tone both elegant and straightforward. The book's crowning achievement, its anchor, and its centerpiece is the poem \"July.\" In a generous fifty pages, Ossip recounts a road trip from Bemidji, MN, to Key West, FL, with her daughter riding shotgun. Inspired by images that flick across their car windows and nurtured by intimate conversation and plenty of time to think, the poem has an entertaining cinematic sweep. There are poems based on bumper stickers, the names of churches, little shops. Traveling tests her beliefs, and Ossip fully discloses her doubts and confusions. Ossip is an unconventional, mighty magician with words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Ossip\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarabande Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.40w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946448781","brand":"Sarabande Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45361580015753,"sku":"9781946448781","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_a689a044-b5d1-41d0-9c70-7d7dcb8f7c06.jpg?v=1773170808","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/july-9781946448781","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
