{"product_id":"memorial-to-the-future-volker-von-trne-9781910345641","title":"Memorial to the Future","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is no coincidence that the poet \u003cb\u003eVolker von Tne\u003c\/b\u003e was, for many years, the Director of Aktion S?nezeichen Friedensdienste (Action for Atonement - Service for Peace), the German charitable organisation for education and reparation in countries throughout the world that have suffered under fascism and other oppressive regimes. His father had been a member of the SS in Germany in the Second World War, and as a consequence, his poetry is written from the perspective of someone who suffered, through no fault of his own, from terrible guilt after the war. This selection from von Toerne's collected poems is particularly significant in that it is a powerful and moving articulation of the psychological burden still carried by countless people today whose voices are not often heard, a burden which von Toerne's powerful, poignant and sometimes angry poetry helps us all the better to understand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Volker Von Tne\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910345644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910345641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d","brand":"Volker Von Tne","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44450254356735,"sku":"9781910345641","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eebeb914-c1a9-4f2e-96e2-ab4d1db0e2ed.jpg?v=1698503727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memorial-to-the-future-volker-von-trne-9781910345641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
