{"product_id":"answer-the-door-diane-kistner-9781942371892","title":"Answer the Door","description":"\"Choose one or the other, demands the light. \/ Choose both, says the dark.\" ANSWER THE DOOR votes with the dark and its predilection for paradox and possibility. These poems invite readers into a world populated by imaginary friends, 1950s television icons, inmates at a county prison, lead pirates, plastic knights, a Sunday school class and Jesus's secret lover, Quintilian and Oneal Moore, Salome and Deborah Kerr, Pixie the Dog and a cat named Schr dinger. The book is grounded in the resonant particulars of our daily lives and in the longings that inform them; it puts its faith in the mysteries inherent in these lives and in these longings. It trusts in language's insatiable hungers. It argues for a justice inseparable from compassion and a beauty inextricable from loss. It is grateful for the hard work of propositions to keep us rooted in time and place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Kistner, Christopher Bursk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942371896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942371892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Futurecycle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.22d","brand":"Diane Kistner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941929386239,"sku":"9781942371892","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_42b0ef47-dc07-4f86-b088-f84d8f06748f.jpg?v=1681455777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/answer-the-door-diane-kistner-9781942371892","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
