In playful narratives, lyrical outbursts, and overheard conversations, Hoagland cruises the milieu, exploring the spiritual vacancies of American satisfaction. With humor, rich tonal complexity, and aggressive moral intelligence, these poems bring pity to our folly and celebrate our resilience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40817228972055,"sku":"9781555973865","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/view_archive_7d01dd2d-9770-4c86-9b03-d0421c773604.jpg?v=1703282416","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/hoagland-tony-what-narcipb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
