{"product_id":"dream-police","title":"Dream Police","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith each new novel, Dennis Cooper's reputation as the most daring and distinctive writer working in America today is cemented. To anyone familiar with this writer -- whom the New York Times calls \"taut, chillingly ironic,\" the Washington Post Book World terms \"brilliant,\" and the Village Voice deems capable of \"religious intensity\" -- it will come as no surprise that before he achieved success as a novelist, Dennis Cooper was best known as a poet. The Dream Police collects the best poems from five of his previous books and also includes a selection of new works. From his darkly erotic early verse to the more refined, post-punk poems that led critics to dub him \"the spokesman for the Blank Generation,\" to his later experimental pieces, Cooper's evolving study of the distances and dangers in romantic relationships has made him a singular voice in American poetry. The Dream Police is a vital addition to Dennis Cooper's riveting and disarming vision of life, love, obsession, and the depths of human need.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e Published: USA, 1996\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Grove Pr\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 144\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9780802134578\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 0802134572\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dannis Cooper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44174537883914,"sku":"","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/front-medium-2585379050.jpg?v=1674388942","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/dream-police","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
