Deming's great gift here is a capacious and capricious mindfulness, improvising and responding to the deadpan lunacy of newspaper headlines in such a way as to make them seem almost mystical. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--D. A. POWELL \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eHeadline News\u003c\/em\u003e, John Deming makes us feel the strangeness of what we've been hearing and seeing in 21st century America. Reading these poems, \"I'm feeling weirder\/and clearer tonight.\" Quoted headlines appear in all caps, but the rest of the writing is equally telegraphic and punchy--until we get punch drunk, wondering what's real news and what isn't. This mix-up seems telling and inevitable now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--RAE ARMANTROUT \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42712274501695,"sku":"9781945023101","price":23.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/6cef88a58217311affb313cf742b5164.webp?v=1765061209","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/headline-news-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
