{"product_id":"in-the-shadow-of-paradise-diane-kistner-9781942371298","title":"In the Shadow of Paradise","description":"IN THE SHADOW OF PARADISE by Jane Ellen Glasser opens with an epigraph by Rumi, \"The wound is the place where the light enters you,\" a theme resonant throughout her seventh collection. Subjects such as romantic love, aging, disappointment and death are examined through a lens of understanding that loss is both inevitable and necessary in growing a full life. In her poem \"Cracks,\" she reminds us, \"Every scar\/ is the shorthand\/ of an important story,\" each crack \"...a door opening\/ onto a larger room.\" A signature of her work, Glasser views nature as a mirror for human nature. Swallowtails hovering above phlox suggest that \"...pleasure\/ can only be tasted in small sips.\" Another source of inspiration is art. Works by Rousseau, Chagall, Picasso, Rubens are springboards for self-examination. With wisdom harvested by time, the overriding tone of her collection is one of praise, celebrating a life \"happily flawed.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Kistner,Jane Ellen Glasser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942371292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942371298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Futurecycle Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.22d","brand":"Diane Kistner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47474294063359,"sku":"9781942371298","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38d604ac-c32a-49e4-b9db-b050b788d857.jpg?v=1762315945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-the-shadow-of-paradise-diane-kistner-9781942371298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
