{"product_id":"golden-crumbs-long-island-dave-daly-9781977292643","title":"Golden Crumbs - Long Island Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is Dave Daly's second collection of poems, bringing musicality and rhythm to varied themes such as mortality, natural wonder, aging, family history, and the interplay of lives at the intersection between city and country that is Long Island. Its imagery is vivid and memorable, with cinematic visual detail that lingers long after reading. It provides a conversational voice, the author's authentic and human emotion is cohesive through searching poems that artfully explore existential tension and contrast in coastal settings, forests, and urban landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection balances philosophical reflection with grounded physical imagery such as beaches, marshes, storms, wildlife, trains, coffee shops, suburban life and others. Mr. Daly reveals a masculine emotional vulnerability rarely explored openly in contemporary poetry and the poems feel lived-in rather than academically manufactured. Poems such as \"Coffee in St. Pete\" reverberate with brief, concrete imagery revealing acute philosophical insights, while others such as \"Heartland Station\" provide visual experiences that linger. You can reimagine the fascination of Long Island's great, Whitman, restlessly searching and observing, while taking in this poet's writings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Daly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 197729264X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977292643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.09d","brand":"Dave Daly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49002105405695,"sku":"9781977292643","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/golden-crumbs-long-island-dave-daly-9781977292643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
