Yet all is not lyric: Marvis Flynn, protagonist of a long poem that takes up a quarter of the book, parodies the Lord's Prayer: \"Give us this day our daily dread.\" Sinister characters abound. The villainous Cadillac Jack compares his prostitutes to cars and strikes a match \"across her teeth.\" Love is uncertain, although it may redeem you; and, as in Ovid, characters who seem stable change into other forms-birds, perhaps. Sometimes Valentine channels Robert Frost, sometimes old ballads, sometimes the Surrealists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 02, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45854846648517,"sku":"9780982987865","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/VjNMMStPVkpDVWM2ZE9FN1RNZnM0QT09_9b0eb95b-7d65-4197-98f0-ce8d2938ce10.webp?v=1771479557","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/a-crows-dream-paperback-2","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
