{"product_id":"regular-haunts-new-and-previous-poems-ted-kooser-contemporary-poetry","title":"Regular Haunts: New and Previous Poems (Ted Kooser Contemporary Poetry)","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.\n\nCostanzo 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. Regular Haunts is a retrospective collection of Costanzo’s work that also includes nearly thirty new poems.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1496205863\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.1496205863.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kooser, Ted|Costanzo, Gerald\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 is in very good condition.
