{"product_id":"end-matters-robin-dyke-9781774034095","title":"End Matters","description":"\"How did it get late so soon?\" asks Robin Dyke, bringing life stories shared in \u003cem\u003eEnd Matters\u003c\/em\u003e full circle via Dr. Seuss. In observant, often wistful poems, he reconsiders high and low moments in a life passionately pursued, with an advancing world as backdrop. As readers, we cheer him on as he comes to terms with family, friends, loves he's found-and sometimes lost-all recollected alongside his heroes, including Roger Bannister, Martin Luther King, Leonard Cohen, to name just three. \"What will last cross my mind\" he asks in \"Reborn.\" Read \u003cem\u003eEnd Matters\u003c\/em\u003e to discover the cornucopia of experiences he has to choose from. -John Barton, author of \u003cem\u003eLost Family: A Memoir\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCompulsory Figures\u003c\/em\u003e These finely written, engagingly readable poems embody the earned wisdom of a life well lived. A style at once urbane and muscular vividly evokes incidents both long-ago and recent. With verve and savior faire we are transported to scenes from Latin America to the Balkans and into other eras where we encounter memorable people and enter the presence of the dead. There are worthy tributes to famous persons who have passed (Toller Cranston, Leonard Cohen) and to others still with us, like Sidney Crosby. And most moving of all are the affectionate portraits of friends. \u003cem\u003eEnd Matters\u003c\/em\u003e is, indeed, poetry that matters. - Allan Briesmaster, author of '\u003cem\u003eWindfor'\u003c\/em\u003e and '\u003cem\u003eLater Findings'\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Dyke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1774034093\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781774034095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Silver Bow Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Robin Dyke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852749877503,"sku":"9781774034095","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/end-matters-robin-dyke-9781774034095","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
