{"product_id":"crash-course-9781732952133","title":"Crash Course","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough lyric and narrative poems alike, the speaker of the poems in \u003cem\u003eCrash Course\u003c\/em\u003e attempts to understand the manner in which cultural traditions and expectations shape their understanding of the world. Watching a father patch up a truck ponders the effect of language across generations. A simple knock on the door provides a meditation on the immigrant experience, and the anxiety surrounding what it means to arrive with nothing in a different country. Other poems look at the complexity of familial relationships, dissecting specific moments that although appear mundane on the surface (shopping for items to put on layaway, barbecues, watching a cousin feed his pet snake), are - once fleshed out on the page - profound episodes that enlighten a labyrinth of memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-2759807\"\u003eEsteban Rodriguez\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saddle Road Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781732952133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1732952132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005070\"\u003eAmerican | Hispanic \u0026amp; Latino\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Saddle Road Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44088825151663,"sku":"1732952132","price":18.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_c63ee9cb-c6ed-4c39-9a7f-378af327be31.jpg?v=1719843971","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/products\/crash-course-9781732952133","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
