In his fourth collection, The Crazy Bunch, Perdomo returns to his beloved neighborhood to create a vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of a \"crew\" coming of age in East Harlem at the beginning of the 1990s. In poems written in couplets, vignettes, sketches, riffs, and dialogue, Perdomo recreates a weekend where surviving members of the crew recall a series of tragic events: \"That was the summer we all tried to fly. All but one of us succeeded.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666054086944,"sku":"NEW0143132695","price":17.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81R3B-1PtxL.jpg?v=1778919883","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-crazy-bunch-penguin-poets-0143132695","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
