With its title inspired by Emily Dickinson, \u003ci\u003eLittle Anodynes\u003c\/i\u003e offers its poems as \"respites,\" as breaks in the reader's life that serve as opportunities for discovery and healing. Pineda deftly uses shortened lines and natural pauses to create momentum, which allows the poems to play out in a manner evocative of fine cinema, as if someone had left a projector running and these narratives were flickering and blending endlessly in an experience shared by the viewer, the storyteller, and the story itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jon Pineda\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611175259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611175257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 5.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Jon Pineda","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49000423883007,"sku":"9781611175257","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-anodynes-jon-pineda-9781611175257","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
