{"product_id":"asidelines-jean-h-baarson-9781434366726","title":"Asidelines","description":"I've always loved words, as much for their sound as their sense, being read to, reading, theater: the spoken word represented in action. At college I minored in English Lit., learning about poetry academically. In adulthood my main focus, aside from family, was music, as a violinist. Not until my seventh decade did the 'poetic bug bite', likely abetted by my 'musical ear'. At first writing in the modernist, free-verse style seemed 'unformed', chopped-up prose: words, phrases, scattered vertically down the page. Where was the artistry? Creative challenge? \"Words Within A Title\" suggests my initial 'gameplan': words in the text formed of letters contained in its title. \"Asidelines\" contains a few rhymed poems, such as narratives and ballads, also a few in classic forms and meters. But most are structured by sound and rhythm. The book is arranged according to subject categories: \"AVA\", Ballads, Biography, Commentary, General, Local History.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean H.
