Zapruder deftly improvises upon language and lyricism as he passionately engages with these questions during turbulent, uncertain times. Whether interrogating the personalities of the Supreme Court, watching a child grow off into a distance, or tweaking poetry critics and hipsters alike, Zapruder maintains a deeply generous sense of humor alongside a rich vein of love and moral urgency. The poems in \u003ci\u003eFather's Day\u003c\/i\u003e harbor a radical belief in the power of wonder and awe to sustain the human project while guiding it forward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Copper Canyon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53537223803246,"sku":"9781556595783","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_03a9f7af-4a09-46a1-9146-612fc88e9f50.jpg?v=1774452972","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/fathers-day","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
