{"product_id":"disturbing-the-light-samuel-green-9780887486609","title":"Disturbing the Light","description":"Through the course of numerous books, Samuel Green has established his primary poetic preoccupations, and in \u003ci\u003eDisturbing the Light\u003c\/i\u003e, he continues to mine them, addressing rituals and work in a small, isolated, rural community; the influence of the past on the present, especially in families; and the nature and evolution of a love that has spanned five decades. Added to these themes is something new: Poems written in response to symptoms of late onset PTSD. Though Green's Coast Guard service in Vietnam ended in the fall of 1969, memories have returned recently in vivid, disturbing details, amplified by the haunting knowledge that civilians in Southeast Asia are still, today, suffering death and injury from unexploded ordnance left over from that war. A powerful collection that reminds us that our past is always with us, even as we attend carefully to the present, \u003ci\u003eDisturbing the Light\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterwork from a poet at the height of his powers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0887486606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780887486609\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carnegie-Mellon University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Samuel Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045399097599,"sku":"9780887486609","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39304b85-e04f-49ea-a91f-e9a8fb72c1fc.jpg?v=1684978516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disturbing-the-light-samuel-green-9780887486609","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
