{"product_id":"a-first-act-ross-keating-9781508427957","title":"A First Act","description":"These poems have a surface naivety which hides a craftsman's use of language. The words are everyday, the style uncluttered. As an artefact the poems have an opacity about them but they are also transparent inviting the reader to sense the poem's meaning. For Keating a poem needs to be both: it should exist as a unique entity and it should say something. The poems in this collection are both of the mind (exterior) and the heart (interior). The former covers such areas as human relationships, loss, grief, anger, humour, and spiritual insights. The latter deals with the heart and covers aspects of the love-dialogue between the Lover and the Beloved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Keating\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150842795X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781508427957\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.25d","brand":"Ross Keating","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459151933695,"sku":"9781508427957","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b0b2da6-2a80-4084-94fe-3cdc133e6173.jpg?v=1777408247","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-first-act-ross-keating-9781508427957","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
