{"product_id":"berman-david-actual-air-books-9780965618366","title":"Berman,david - Actual Air - Books","description":"Back in print for the first time this era is David Berman's Actual Air.Released in paperback in 1999 by the now-defunct Open City and praised everywhere in thethen-ascendant print press industry (including names that still make waves today like The New Yorker and GQ), David Berman's first (and only) book of poetry was and is a journey though shared and unreliable memory. Uncannily inspired, Berman's poems walk through doors into rooms where where one might hear \"I can't remember being born \/ and no one else can either \/ even the doctor who I met years later \/ at a cocktail party\" (from \"Self-Portrait at 28\"), or praise \"the interval called hangover \/ a sadness not co-terminous with hopelessness\" (from \"Cassette Country\") and \"that moment when you take off your sunglasses \/ after a long drive and realize it's earlier \/ and lighter out than you had accounted for\" (\"The Charm of 5:30\").The second edition of the hardcover version of Actual Air is limited to 1000 copies. Features of the second edition are: new larger dimensions and enlarged typeface, new dustjacket artwork variant, deluxe cloth boards, updated full-color endpapers, dust-jacket featuring a photo of the artist around the time of publication, and of course the poems that inspired all this fuss in the first place.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49220723998962,"sku":"DRGC1980","price":51.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4501584-3549806.jpg?v=1778949169","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/berman-david-actual-air-books-9780965618366","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
