{"product_id":"snapshots-sam-ricky-west-9780997851700","title":"Snapshots: An On-Growing Collection of Poems","description":"Dear Readers, At the genesis of this chapbook, I set out to write poems about things that were actually worth writing about. So I picked up a pen, some napkins, and started jotting words. I opened my eyes, ears, hands, and heart. And after picking up a laptop to compile it all, I found that this, my first book of poems, was about love and loss. I write to capture moments of love as they truly are: broken, fleeting, sinful and painful, yet still beautiful. I write with the resolve that such snapshots matter, for if they do not, what does? I write about stories full of culture \u0026amp; family, privilege \u0026amp; struggle, faith \u0026amp; doubt, power \u0026amp; weakness. Stories that take place in Oakland, DF, UCLA, East San Jose, Linda Vista, and Nicaragua. I write about things and places that have been dynamic in the past year. I write in the USA in a time when it is grappling to understand itself as its culture changes with eagle speed.... Sincerely, Sam.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Ricky West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0997851708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780997851700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Ricky West\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.06d","brand":"Sam Ricky West","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441619054847,"sku":"9780997851700","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38a6e1cd-147c-4ba8-9135-f0e2e4895602.jpg?v=1777192046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snapshots-sam-ricky-west-9780997851700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
