{"product_id":"sinew-john-arends-9780692554104","title":"Sinew: Muscle Poems \u0026 Mantras, Bar Rants \u0026 Bliss","description":"Personal, lyrical and honest, this debut book of poems from award-winning author John Arends is as much a collection of stories as it is of poetry. Arends clearly has something to say, as evidenced by his longer pieces, which unfold into narrative journeys of surprising poignancy. In SINEW, his poetic impulses take us from dust-choked back alleys in a Mexican border town, to the granite-shored bays of Greenland, to an abandoned zoo in the Sarajevo war zone. Along the way, he asks us to bear witness to excruciating beauty, crushing despair, the desolation of betrayal, and the colors and hues of unconditional love. At each turn, the lines and language ring with an earnest, emotional resonance, as Arends explores the borderlands of madness and bliss that are modern-day life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Arends\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692554106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692554104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arboretum Productions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"John Arends","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441259426047,"sku":"9780692554104","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd50a9c2-8b9e-4170-afd9-1d41d34cb4d8.jpg?v=1777189744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sinew-john-arends-9780692554104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
