{"product_id":"cracks-diane-kistner-9781938853791","title":"Cracks","description":"The art of Kintsugi, using gold to fill cracks or mend shards in Japanese ceramics, suggests that when a thing has been damaged by time, it becomes more beautiful. So, too, for human experience, offers Jane Ellen Glasser. In her sixth poetry collection, the tone is one of gratitude; Glasser treats even serious subjects, such as late love and life's end, with wit and a light hand. In her 70th year, Glasser does not bemoan aging, but, rather chooses to acknowledge, even celebrate the inevitable accidents of experience that grow a life. In the closing poem, she offers guidance to her future eulogist. Just as the Japanese cracked pot is imperfectly perfect, she tells us how she wants to be remembered: \"Say I was perfectly flawed. \/ Say I was human.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Kistner,Jane Ellen Glasser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1938853792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781938853791\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Futurecycle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.07d","brand":"Diane Kistner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442677788927,"sku":"9781938853791","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e58c30b-0336-4591-841f-6febc1d96850.jpg?v=1777199019","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cracks-diane-kistner-9781938853791","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
