{"product_id":"for-lack-of-diamond-years-caroline-beasley-baker-9781938349096","title":"For Lack of Diamond Years","description":"FOR LACK of DIAMOND YEARS is an idiosyncratic collection of short poems - most under 20 lines - where questions lead the way. The poems are a mixed set of free verse, unabashed counting forms like the Hay(na)ku and the Elfchen, and a very minimalist version of John Cage's mesostic form, along with a small number of poems based on colors, and a few that steal freely from traditional American songs. But at its heart, For Lack of Diamond Years is a quixotic narration between realms of being - from the quotidian into the sometimes numinous, sometimes murky realm of the unknown\/unknown, and on into a kind of revamped transcendental. There is a thread of praise that runs throughout - an embrace of the joys and sorrows of thinking and feeling, of love and loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Beasley-Baker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1938349091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781938349096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pelekinesis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\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 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2014 - Recommended - Hard To Beat","brand":"Caroline Beasley-Baker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983872655615,"sku":"9781938349096","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6aca8c6-2770-45f6-8f89-b71201b61ff1.jpg?v=1683269211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-lack-of-diamond-years-caroline-beasley-baker-9781938349096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
