{"product_id":"david-berman-actual-air-book","title":"David Berman - Actual Air Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eReleased in paperback in 1999 by the now-defunct Open City and praised everywhere in the then-ascendant print press industry (including names that still make waves today like \u003cem\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGQ\u003c\/em\u003e), David Berman's first (and only) book of poetry was and is a journey though shared and unreliable memory. Uncannily inspired, Berman's poems walk through doors into rooms where where one might hear \"I can't remember being born \/ and no one else can either \/ even the doctor who I met years later \/ at a cocktail party\" (from \"Self-Portrait at 28\"), or praise \"the interval called hangover \/ a sadness not co-terminous with hopelessness\" (from \"Cassette Country\") and \"that moment when you take off your sunglasses \/ after a long drive and realize it's earlier \/ and lighter out than you had accounted for\" (\"The Charm of 5:30\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatures of this hardcover edition are: new larger dimensions and enlarged typeface, new dustjacket artwork variant, deluxe cloth boards, updated full-color endpapers, dust-jacket featuring a photo of the artist around the time of publication, and of course the poems that inspired all this fuss in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drag City","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50683408777319,"sku":"mcc1793064643681","price":25.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/1782\/6663\/files\/david-berman---actual-air-book_1.jpg?v=1793064679","url":"https:\/\/coolerboxes.shop\/products\/david-berman-actual-air-book","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
