{"product_id":"bad-alchemy-poems-9780393315318","title":"Bad Alchemy: Poems","description":"In this exuberant and distinctive collection, Dionisio Martínez addresses topics as diverse as love, the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, twentieth-century art and music, and the relevance of language in an age of image.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Much of Martínez's private iconography comes from the picket-fence California community of his youth, in which large events--from the veneration of pop icons (Jean Harlow, Ed Sullivan) to the Vietnam War--seemed to move in slow motion. As an adult, the poet tries to make sense of what the child could not grasp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dionisio Martinez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
