Poet Jay Sizemore has had the luxury of seeing many beautiful parts of the world. In his travels to locations such as Jamaica, Iceland, Ireland, Amsterdam, and throughout the United States, he has always carried a notebook to jot down his thoughts inspired by the scenic natural beauty of the globe. This book collects the poems born of those scribblings into one slim volume. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeel what the poet feels standing with his feet in the sea. Feel what the poet feels, with his eyes stung by polar winds threatening to topple him to the black sands of an Icelandic beach. Feel what the poet feels as he stumbles drunk down cobblestone paths older than all his dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGet this book and travel the world without ever having to leave your own home. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSample poem: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eI can't see the Northern Lights\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, there's the cricket crescendo of dusk, \u003cbr\u003enight like an opaque glass between\u003cbr\u003emy heart and the stars, really just smog\u003cbr\u003eand street lamps that buzz\u003cbr\u003emore than the whiskey in my guts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIsn't it romantic how the sun\u003cbr\u003etries to kill us like some drunk vagrant\u003cbr\u003eswinging his fists in the air, \u003cbr\u003ebut his rage is just another form of beauty, \u003cbr\u003eanother form of light\u003cbr\u003ethat dances in and out of existence, \u003cbr\u003ewaves like music manifested\u003cbr\u003eas luminescent sheets in the sky, \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003esomething so breathtaking\u003cbr\u003eit would take a lifetime to describe\u003cbr\u003ejust that moment, that moment anchoring you\u003cbr\u003eto now, with an unseen battleship\u003cbr\u003elarge as the moon, trying to pull\u003cbr\u003eyou over the horizon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThat's what I imagine it to be like, \u003cbr\u003ewhile I sit sipping my drink, \u003cbr\u003ehoping no one breaks into my house\u003cbr\u003ewhen I sleep and dream of driving North, \u003cbr\u003emy internal compass in constant spin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Sizemore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1548657751\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781548657758\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 07\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Jay Sizemore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873455288575,"sku":"9781548657758","price":9.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/all-the-light-in-the-jay-sizemore-9781548657758","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
