{"product_id":"filthy-labors-lauren-marie-schmidt-9780810134690","title":"Filthy Labors: Poems","description":"In \u003ci\u003eFilthy Labors\u003c\/i\u003e, Lauren Marie Schmidt draws on personal observations from her position as a poetry teacher at a shelter for homeless mothers, as well as her own roles as daughter and sister through times of family turmoil. She condemns the indignities suffered by the poor and the powerless and praises the work of those who do the caretaking. Here is poetry in the great tradition of social justice literature going back to Walt Whitman. Organized around the Catholic sacraments, these poems call upon Whitman directly, for his words replace the liturgical text of these rituals to rejoice in the redemptive power of poetry in the absence of religion's saving grace. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Marie Schmidt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810134691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810134690\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Curbstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Lauren Marie Schmidt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199057154303,"sku":"9780810134690","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8ca0eb3-9c5a-4147-a39a-44a6481cf5e6.jpg?v=1727924905","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/filthy-labors-lauren-marie-schmidt-9780810134690","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
