In Curses and Wishes the short, simple lines add up to a thoughtful book possessed with lyrical melancholy, a harmony of sadness and joy that sings: \"May happiness be a wheel, a lit throne, spinning \/ in the vast pinprick of darkness.\" By the close of this ambitious work the poet has inspired readers to see the multifaceted effects of our human connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Adamshick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807137766\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807137765\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/22\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.52w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Whitman Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Oregon Book Awards - Winner","brand":"Carl Adamshick","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947252318463,"sku":"9780807137765","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_70c3d10b-20fc-447d-beb1-9879c1e17d7b.jpg?v=1681517615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/curses-and-wishes-carl-adamshick-9780807137765","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
