{"product_id":"skid-9780822957805","title":"Skid","description":"Dean Young is one of the premier surrealist poets writing today. In Skid, his fifth book of poems, social outrage vies with comic excess. He embraces the autobiographical urge with fury and musically lush exclamations. Whether through the dark facts of mortality or the celebratory surprises of the imagination, these poems proclaim vitality and alertness, wasting nothing. From Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner's \"Meep! Meep!\" to remembrances of lost loves and laments about the future, Young's poems reveal his faith in the genius of calamity and the redemptive power of fun.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dean Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.27w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822957805\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2002 pg. 986\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/25\/2002 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDean Young\u003c\/b\u003e has published eight previous books, most recently \u003ci\u003eelegy on toy piano, \u003c\/i\u003e a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and \u003ci\u003eEmbryoyo.\u003c\/i\u003e He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts as well as an Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
