{"product_id":"dirt-sandwich-linda-annas-ferguson-9780982441664","title":"Dirt Sandwich","description":"Linda Annas Ferguson knows-to borrow Wallace Stevens' formulation-that \"Death is the mother of beauty.\" She proclaims in one of her poems, \"Everything \/ is drenched with endings, alive with dying.\" Her work exists at the shimmering mid-point between an urge to celebrate the world's beauty and a pained recognition that this beauty is mutable. She recognizes that our being only temporary inhabitants of this life is not a problem to solve but a mystery to feel-and a mystery that compels us to make poems. As she wryly puts it, she is \"dying to write \/ a decent poem.\" Linda Annas Ferguson has done more than that. She has given us a book of tender, clear-eyed, complex meditations, a lovely book by a poet whose vision we can trust. - Chris Forhan, author of Black Leapt In\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Annas Ferguson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0982441665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780982441664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Press 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d","brand":"Linda Annas Ferguson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47039775736063,"sku":"9780982441664","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_106d6b5e-4982-4795-a4fa-76ed65e648f7.jpg?v=1752752531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dirt-sandwich-linda-annas-ferguson-9780982441664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
