{"product_id":"resurrection-pie-9780807186060","title":"Resurrection Pie","description":"\u003cp\u003eA resurrection pie is defined as any dish made from yesterday's leftovers--a meal that, in essence, rises from the dead. In this spirit, John Wall Barger's new collection of poetry calls forth the past and its dead, describing a bardo-like psychic terrain in a language of fable and trauma. The poems move fast and strange: a man arrives at his ex-lover's island of secrets; a mourner coughs up red flower petals; a man walks backward across Philadelphia as bodies rise out of the ground; a boy watches his dead sister's flea circus through a magnifying glass. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn language by turns vivid and destabilizing, Barger writes the odd, the marvelous, and the wounded with unguarded clarity. \u003ci\u003eResurrection Pie\u003c\/i\u003e is a work of serious play: absurd, intimate, melancholic. Dispatches from inside the fever dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Wall Barger\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of six previous collections of poems and one collection of essays.
