{"product_id":"after-words-shirley-brewer-9781934074824","title":"After Words","description":"223 The number of homicides in Baltimore City in 2010. 23 The age of Stephen Bradley Pitcairn, one of those victims. Numb, we watch the news from a safe distance. No personal blood is shed. Yet, beyond statistics lie human emotions-pain that cuts deeper than any weapon. Poet Shirley J. Brewer responded to the stabbing death of Stephen Pitcairn, who envisioned a career as a doctor. Instead, he died in the street just one block from Brewer's home in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood. Brewer gives tragedy a voice. In words both spare and poignant, she creates an awareness of the staggering ways violence robs everyone-families, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and society as a whole. In After Words, we grieve. Our sorrow is specific, for Stephen and the Pitcairn family. It is also universal-for every person whose life has been lacerated by crime. One knife, and we all bleed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Brewer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934074829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934074824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Apprentice House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Shirley Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074225828095,"sku":"9781934074824","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b95ef177-b5d1-4973-a53d-e07cc36fd1eb.jpg?v=1685452519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-words-shirley-brewer-9781934074824","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
