{"product_id":"hotel-worthy-valerie-nieman-9781941209189","title":"Hotel Worthy","description":"Check into Hotel Worthy, Valerie Nieman's new book of poems, and you'll never want to leave. There abides in its pages an uncanny past wrought into poems that spring from a memory - from a vast, liturgical acumen - that unites the dead with the living, restores the abandoned, returns the missing. Nieman knows the names of things, how those things piece together, how they sunder; and, while she refuses to lie, her truths are exquisite. This is a startling book. The language - its lyric nuance, its plaintive harmonies, its ceremonial beauty - is unforgettable. In the words of the poet, \"Each blow of wood on wood \/ sets ripples on the water: \/ deo gratias, deo gratias.\"Deo gratias indeed - for Hotel Worthy. -Joseph Bathanti, former Poet Laureate of North Carolina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Valerie Nieman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941209181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941209189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Press 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Valerie Nieman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937719714047,"sku":"9781941209189","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_430f949b-7303-4e08-bce2-a3a6a3132c7c.jpg?v=1681431626","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hotel-worthy-valerie-nieman-9781941209189","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
