His writing has been described as simultaneously challenging and sublime: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e who slid weightless down inside . . . and for\u003cbr\u003e me, \u003cbr\u003e her infinite yellow eyes in only five years\u003cbr\u003e passing to forget\u003cbr\u003e how tight the water closed around the\u003cbr\u003e sunlight pressing to get thru . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne leaves this work less confident of arriving anywhere safely, but with a far greater appreciation of the storm obscuring the voyage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Owen Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1490381015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781490381015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Jeffrey Owen Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598493970687,"sku":"9781490381015","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_989b6812-e21e-4337-8cce-3cf9faf5bf31.jpg?v=1702382815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/goat-shape-hole-jeffrey-owen-thomas-9781490381015","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
