{"product_id":"159817","title":"the day they stole the coach house press","description":"\u003cp\u003eColeman was the editor-in-chief at Toronto's Coach House Press in its early, counterculture days. Coach House was known for its cutting-edge technology and commitment to avant-garde Canadian writers. In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, shifts in government funding and internal pressures caused disruption, resulting in the publishing arm being sold and reorganized into a mainstream corporate model. The first poem, also the book title, presents a sharp critique of the corporate takeover and restructuring of the celebrated press, specifically targeting the interlopers who—in Coleman's view—hungrily attempted to convert the passionately independent, artist-driven entity into a conventional, grant-focused corporate body. Hence, the title reflects Coleman's indignation over the Coach House literary legacy being \"stole\" by executives in suits who prioritized profit over poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COLEMAN, Victor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43283076907071,"sku":"159817","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0009\/9116\/6527\/files\/159817_606049de-f539-4b17-bf24-e8f6a2fc8fb5.jpg?v=1779395538","url":"https:\/\/atticbooks.ca\/products\/159817","provider":"Attic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
