{"product_id":"beginnings-derek-alger-9780986214622","title":"Beginnings: How 14 Poets Got Their Start","description":"Each of the fourteen interviews in this collection tells the story of a poet's career, starting with origins that in many cases overcame unlikely beginnings and went on to fortunate educations with inspiring teachers who often became friends and colleagues, and in at least one case a spouse. Then onto publication, books, awards, and, for the majority, their own teaching careers to share their gifts with others in emulation of their own mentors. Each interview is followed by samples of the poet's work. Readers will have an opportunity to appreciate and admire the fourteen poets as people and as artists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Derek Alger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0986214620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780986214622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Serving House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.41d","brand":"Derek Alger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441498960127,"sku":"9780986214622","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_827bef76-a8ef-4758-abee-5e9c6d911893.jpg?v=1777191299","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beginnings-derek-alger-9780986214622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
