The poems in \u003ci\u003eTurn Up the Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e examine with an unflinching eye and mordant humor the reality of living and dying in a time and culture that conspire to erase our inner lives. Hoagland's signature wit and unparalleled observations take in long-standing injustices, the atrocities of American empire and consumerism, and our ongoing habit of looking away. In these poems, perseverance depends on a gymnastics of skepticism and comedy, a dogged quest for authentic connection, and the consolations of the natural world. \u003ci\u003eTurn Up the Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and moving collection, a fitting testament to Hoagland's devotion to the capaciousness and art of poetry.","brand":"Tony Hoagland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44116068892714,"sku":"9781644450925","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/turn-up-the-ocean-poems-9701621.jpg?v=1771832465"},{"product_id":"what-narcissism-means-to-me","title":"What Narcissism Means to Me","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn eagerly awaited new collection of poems by contemporary favorite Tony Hoagland, author of Donkey Gospel\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow did I come to believe in a government called Tony Hoagland?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith an economy based on flattery and self-protection?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eand a sewage system of selective forgetting?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eand an extensive history of broken promises?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --from \"Argentina\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWhat Narcissism Means to Me\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning poet Tony Hoagland levels his particular brand of acute irony not only on the personal life, but also on some provinces of American culture.

With a ruthless gaze, Tony Hoagland attends to all the details of modern frailty and human joy. \"What is wrong with you?\" he asks of \"His Majesty Mr.-Boombox-In-My-Jeep\" driving the beach road at 2 AM. What is wrong with all of us? these poems want to know and set off finding out. Don't Tell Anyone is a chronicle of life, love, marriage, sex and shopping as only Tony Hoagland is able to render such things. His poems speak conversationally as if your good friend is telling you a story, but there is great wit and inventiveness behind each of them. Don't tell anyone -- tell everyone about these poems.","brand":"Tony Hoagland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44116069417002,"sku":"9780984310074","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/dont-tell-anyone-the-hollyridge-press-chapbook-series-2391773.jpg?v=1771832465"}],"url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/collections\/tony-hoagland.oembed","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
