{"product_id":"cooperman-robert-august-24-1957-9798888389386","title":"August 24, 1957","description":"The good and prolific Bob Cooperman's long winning streak continues with August 24, 1957, his new collection of smart, punchy narratives. Cooperman's genius is in storytelling-prior books have honed in on his love of basketball, the Grateful Dead, his family of origin, and America in the 60's. Also a historian, he's written deeply about 19th century frontier Colorado. In this chapbook, Cooperman mines his own history after a storm upends a glass table on his patio. Broken glass! And Cooperman's taken back to the blood and damage of the summer day he ran through a glass door. 67 years later, Cooperman begins the second poem of the collection, \"Some things you don't forget.\" The twenty-four poems here make for a tough, victorious remembrance of a life-changing accident.-Ken Waldman, author of the poetry collection Sports Page\n\u003cbr\u003e\nI've long been an admirer of Robert Cooperman's poetry. He is a master at building narratives in poems. In this new collection, August 24, 1957, he examines a childhood accident that remains a potent force in his life decades later. The body wasn't the only thing wounded-but the emotional wounds send down deep roots. Cooperman is unafraid to show those wounds, to examine them afresh, to help us see our own wounds in new ways.-Ken Pobo","brand":"Finishing Line Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53698826240342,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9798888389386_1.jpg?v=1778863894","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cooperman-robert-august-24-1957-9798888389386","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
