In poems like \"Olive Garden,\" \"Culver's,\" \"Popeye's Louisiana Kitchen,\" \"Cracker Barrel,\" \"Applebee's (after James Wright),\" Caine--owner of the Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas--\"reviews\" chain restaurants, bringing our attention to a slice of American life we often overlook, even though it's everywhere. Along the way, he touches on such topics as parenting, the Midwest, politics, and the pitfalls of nostalgia. Caine's wry, deceptively accomplished poems are paired with Tara Wray's color-drenched photos. The result is a literary yet goofy homage to American food and identity, set in a midwestern landscape dotted by the light of fast-food restaurants' glowing signs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for those readers who love both poetry and Popeye's. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 03, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769791578400,"sku":"9781948742627","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/b4ea17cfe7d0fc596f34608e21fa9c19.webp?v=1780356746","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/el-dorado-freddys-chain-restaurants-in-poems-and-photographs-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
