{"product_id":"all-she-wrote-william-wilborn-9781936097036","title":"All She Wrote: Sonnets","description":"The sonnet is one of the oldest poetic forms in Western literature, adopted with immortal success by poets as diverse as Dante, Shakespeare, and Robert Frost. In the hands of William Wilborn, the sonnet becomes a powerful vehicle to explore the poignant ironies of history and daily life, the urgencies of love and age, and the heartbreaking truths that lurk behind encounters with art and beauty. These masterfully crafted poems give the ancient sonnet a fresh vibrancy and relevance suitable for the voices and experiences of our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe range of Wilborn's poetic scrutiny is vast, from Anne Frank, \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eup in her attic, working late, \u003cbr\u003eTo finish knowing why she had been there, \u003cbr\u003eBefore she heard the jackboots on the stair\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eto the pain of euthanizing a beloved dog: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWe live too long for love of our own kind, \u003cbr\u003eAnd you too briefly for our endless need\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eand the stoic courage of an old man who \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003efishes in green gabardine\u003cbr\u003eStill waters with a heedful hook.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWilborn is a mature and wise poet, fearlessly fishing in the waters of modern life to retrieve the evasive moments that define the human condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wilborn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936097036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936097036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baobab Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.30d","brand":"William Wilborn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937594638591,"sku":"9781936097036","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3c45c5e2-3783-4f5c-ac4e-7c31d92b0812.jpg?v=1681430972","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-she-wrote-william-wilborn-9781936097036","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
