{"product_id":"mr-bluebird-9780299193249","title":"MR Bluebird","description":"From the spewing smokestacks of corporate culture run amok to charting the course of an oncoming dusk, the poems in \u003ci\u003eMr. Bluebird\u003c\/i\u003e bring eco-poetry and urban pastoral to exciting new places. \u003ci\u003eMr. Bluebird\u003c\/i\u003e, the second collection of poetry from award-winning author Gerry Gomez Pearlberg, explores the intersections between ecology, the imagination, urban nature, lesbian nature, and the nature of the human heart. The book is as much a cry of sorrow in the face of the biological holocaust as a celebration of the wild creatures and places that remind us of what sanity looks and feels like. These wide-ranging poems feature a cast of characters that includes St. Francis of Assisi, St. Augustine, Bart Simpson, Sal Mineo, Paul Bowles, Gertrude Stein, Mr. Eggroll, Mr. Chips, and a tough blue rose named Mr. Bluebird.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerry Gomez Pearlberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.00w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299193249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerry Gomez Pearlberg is the author of \u003ci\u003eMarianne Faithfull's Cigarette\u003c\/i\u003e, which received a Lambda Literary Award and was a Firecracker Book Award finalist.
