{"product_id":"amounting-to-nothing-paul-quenon-9781640602014","title":"Amounting to Nothing: Poems","description":"After 60 years at Gethsemani Abbey, Br. Paul follows up his recent memoir, \u003ci\u003eIn Praise of the Useless Life, \u003c\/i\u003ewith a poetic collection that shows how to do just that - by writing poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmounting to Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e is both practical and metaphysical, a puzzling over the ultimate things of life, and a descending on the Benedictine ladder of humility to the earthly creatures surrounding a Kentucky monastery. This is less an exploration in self-knowledge than a forgetting of self in the wonders of everything. Quenon treads bare footed on the margins of mortality and immortality, with wit, thought, and hope. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Quenon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1640602011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781640602014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Paraclete Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/09\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Paul Quenon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044620202239,"sku":"9781640602014","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0d4a8a8-089a-4a03-9d32-2ef038ea1fa8.jpg?v=1684973898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/amounting-to-nothing-paul-quenon-9781640602014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
