{"product_id":"all-the-dead-are-holy-larry-levy-9781945603464","title":"All the Dead Are Holy","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this collection, not only are all the dead holy, but all the living as well, including \"the one-legged veteran, the toddler with doll and comb.\" There are echoes of those who perished in the Holocaust and those still laboring to make a life in the modern American landscape. In Levy's tightly crafted poems, we glimpse what is both familiar and human: teachers, immigrant brides, a lost father's shirts and ties, the sidekick brother, the dying mother. The message is clear and powerful: \"You must remember.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e -- John Jeffire, author of \u003cem\u003eMotown Burning\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eShoveling Snow in a Snowstorm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLarry Levy is the best kind of writer. His poems--with their honesty and intimacy--invite you in, ask you to sit at the table, and listen to the stories you need to hear about the past that is never past, the wars that will not end, and the people who continue to love even though they are gone. Hearing his stories, you begin to wake to your own stories, your own losses and loves, and finally you want to take his hand and thank him for what he has given you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e -- John Guzlowski, author of \u003cem\u003eEchoes of Tattered Tongues\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLarry Levy has been digging deep, adding concreteness and insight to themes he chose as his own in \u003cem\u003eI Would Stay Forever If I Could\u003c\/em\u003e. In this gathering of new work, he explores his Jewish and Midwestern heritage, the strains and joys of teaching and of being a student, the resilience and vulnerability of childhood, and the ever-presence of evil in the world, from the Holocaust to our own time. Unsurprising is increased attention to the experience of aging. These poems exemplify compassion and emotional accuracy through an observing eye and craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e -- John Palen, author of \u003cem\u003eSmall Economies\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eDistant Music\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Levy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1945603461\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945603464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atmosphere Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.24d","brand":"Larry Levy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113765286143,"sku":"9781945603464","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3ce7f68-4e9b-4d4c-af13-cea306659512.jpg?v=1769617173","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-the-dead-are-holy-larry-levy-9781945603464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
