Steffen burns the solipsistic personal at the stake. - Roger Weingarten Steffen scrupulously avoids flamboyance, the sort of surface dazzle we find in poems that, like the stereotypical Chinese meal, are immediately appealing but leave us hungry instants later. His plain style approach allows his insights, as it were, to sneak up on us . . . until we discover ourselves (how did it happen?) in a world so full of pathos that we catch our breaths. - Sydney Lea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Lasorsa Steffen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1599540126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781599540122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bordighera Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Michael Lasorsa Steffen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474122457343,"sku":"9781599540122","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c1940fc-5fef-4a28-90ca-ebb70607022c.jpg?v=1762315056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heart-murmur-michael-lasorsa-steffen-9781599540122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
