{"product_id":"the-daunting-ephemeral-dustin-pickering-9781494926304","title":"The Daunting Ephemeral","description":"The Daunting Ephemeral explores the quirky and creative side of life, and embraces spirituality from a humanistic worldview. Pickering misappropriates the language of religion and some of its history to ask the reader if our conceptions of the divine are overly simple, and if we can embrace awe and mystery without compunction. Pickering's first full-length collection of poems also includes The Vanishing Point, a short chapbook published in 2012. The author pursues questions most people are afraid to ask: \"If God exists, why do I not believe?\" The Daunting Ephemeral will not answer life's mysteries, but it will provide a backdrop for curiosity, imagination, and struggle. It will ask the reader to stare deeply into the eyes of the Unknown-- and ask if it is truly the Unknown, does it truly know it is?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dustin Pickering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149492630X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781494926304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.17d","brand":"Dustin Pickering","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458882351359,"sku":"9781494926304","price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f73ad1c-9bcc-4cb3-8bc1-6280672eaffb.jpg?v=1777407182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-daunting-ephemeral-dustin-pickering-9781494926304","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
