{"product_id":"regular-haunts-new-and-previous-poems-9781496205865","title":"Regular Haunts: New and Previous Poems","description":"Gerald Costanzo, long known as one of the best contemporary poets of satire, focuses specifically on American themes that, though presented as parables, fables, jokes, and put-ons, remain darkly serious in tone. His subject is the mythic landscape of America itself: the transitory, popular, consumer culture of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Costanzo evokes a sense of having arrived on the scene too late, of having missed the heyday of American innocence and possibility, and now--in the present--is forced to live with diminished experience. He mourns a culture where genuine emotion cannot be found but where its semblance can be endlessly marketed. \u003ci\u003eRegular Haunts\u003c\/i\u003e is a retrospective collection of Costanzo's work that also includes nearly thirty new poems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Costanzo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Ted Kooser Contemporary Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496205865","brand":"University of Nebraska Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42713712427145,"sku":"9781496205865","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_e0f5d800-abf5-4a49-a906-bfff817bf22f.jpg?v=1719620367","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/regular-haunts-new-and-previous-poems-9781496205865","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
