In poems that range from the Cold War anxieties of the 1950s to the perils and predicaments of an aging Boomer in a post-9\/11 world, Bilgeres rueful humor and slippery syntax become a trapdoor that at any moment can plunge the reader into the abyss. In Bilgeres world a yo-yo morphs into an emblem for the atomic bomb. A spot of cancer flames into the Vietnam War. And the death of a baseball player reminds us, in this age of disbelief, of the importance-the necessity-of myth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67839894159648,"sku":"NEW0822962683","price":15.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61d5f0t_xTL_49b5f816-5679-48cc-9362-8244c9c734d8.jpg?v=1792271723","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/imperial-pitt-poetry-series-0822962683","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
