{ "item_title" : "Straight Ahead", "item_author" : [" Red Shuttleworth "], "item_description" : "American poetry of the Washington State steppe and scrublands.Red Shuttleworth's Straight Ahead shows readers a crisply-drawn textual landscape of the scablands of Eastern Washington. This is a wounded land pocked with volcanic rock, coyotes, and plow-ripped / floury soil that, like the mythic Old West, declines and crumbles / to blue rock suburban driveway gravel and double-wide farmhouses. In these stark and masterfully-wrought scenes-most crafted in chiseled tanka-like five-line poems-we get a glimpse into this microcosm of America through Shuttleworth's astute, terse, and always human observations. In Straight Ahead we hear the twenty-first century lament of the exile in the Western wilderness.- Barbara Brinson Curiel, author, Mexican Jenny and Other Poems, winner of the 2012 Philip Levine Prize", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/69/280/997/069280997X_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "16.00", "online_price" : "16.00", "our_price" : "16.00", "club_price" : "16.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
