{"product_id":"come-on-all-you-ghosts","title":"Come on All You Ghosts","description":"\"Charming, melancholy, hip.\"—Publishers Weekly, starred review\n\"Zapruder's innovative style is provocative in its unusual juxtapositions of line, image and enjambments. . . . Highly recommended.\"—Library Journal\nMatthew Zapruder's third book mixes humor and invention with love and loss, as when the breath of a lover is compared to \"a field of titanium gravestones \/ growing warmer in the sun.\" The title poem is an elegy for the heroes and mentors in the poet's life—from David Foster Wallace to the poet's father. Zapruder's poems are direct and surprising, and throughout the book he wrestles with the desire to do well, to make art, and to face the vast events of the day.\nLook out scientists! Today the unemployment rate\nis 9.4 percent. I have no idea what that means. I tried\nto think about it harder for a while. Then\ntried standing in an actual stance of mystery\nand not knowing towards the world.\nWhich is my job. As is staring at the back yard\nand for one second believing I am actually\nrising away from myself. Which is maybe\nwhat I have in common right now with you . . .\nMatthew Zapruder holds degrees from Amherst College, UC Berkeley, and the University of Massachusetts. He is the author of two previous books, including The Pajamaist, which won the William Carlos Williams Award and was honored by Library Journal with a \"Best Poetry Book of the Year\" listing. He lives in San Francisco and is an editor at Wave Books.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1556593228\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1556593228.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Zapruder, Matthew\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
