They visited one another when they could, met at AWP Conferences when both could get funding from the educational institutions they were working at, and they spent time over two different summers in Austin, Texas researching the William Goyen special issue of \u003cem\u003eMid-American Review\u003c\/em\u003e. And they sent letters back and forth through the US mail. These poems started out as those letters. At some point they decided to work with a particular series of those letters, to hone them into poems, and to create this chapbook of corresponding poems. Sadly, Douglas did not live to see it in print.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Smith, George Looney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1953932142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953932143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e April Gloaming Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 5.00w x 0.15d","brand":"Douglas Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133358469375,"sku":"9781953932143","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea98c66e-ea7b-4913-a859-3757ab40749b.jpg?v=1687485636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birds-of-sympathy-douglas-smith-9781953932143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
