{"product_id":"late-alabama-poems-joel-fry-9781977220882","title":"Late Alabama Poems","description":"Joel Fry's poems chart a deeply interior quest. Though the object is predictable-understanding, love, friendship, hope-the poems are highly original. Deep within, where external and internal landscape merge, where easy solutions like monetary success and comfortable suburbia go down before a sharp irony, we meet fleeting memories of a childhood farm, a creek beside which boys played, rare moments of love where a couple sits on a porch. We also meet loneliness, despair, glimpses of truth, and a pervasive joy in the act of creation. The poems are disciplined, intuitive, paradoxical, richly imagined-repaying, over and over, the attention and agility required of those who would follow the poet. Fry leaves us \"poised on the edge of a mystery \/  we] cannot command, a chorus  we] cannot escape.\" Harry Moore, author of Time's Fool and Bearing the Farm Away\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joel Fry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1977220886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781977220882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.24d","brand":"Joel Fry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941602918655,"sku":"9781977220882","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_447b5408-6a4a-43ca-817a-817ec77d7bb2.jpg?v=1681453880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/late-alabama-poems-joel-fry-9781977220882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
