{"product_id":"the-river-running-through-him-kaye-nelson-ratliff-9781597132220","title":"The River Running Through Him","description":"\u003cp\u003eJust as a river shapes the contours of the land around it, our lives are shaped by the currents that flow through us; currents such as family, friends, experiences and places. This collection of poems reflects many of the currents encountered in the poet's life. They are a selection of poems written over the course of that life, and include the heartbreak of young love, memories of family and friends, and reflections on some of the poet's experiences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e These poems also include the ebb and flow of the writer's faith journey and relationship to God. They reflect the idea that without art, including poetry, we cannot fully express our experiences of the Creator. And sometimes, a poem is a prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Pee Dee River which begins as the Yadkin and flows through the Carolinas, also flows through the many of these poems. This river is an integral part of life in the Yadkin-Pee Dee Valley and it shapes much of the culture of the area. Thus, based on the poet's experience of life in that culture, these poems reflect her experience of the metaphorical river flowing through us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaye Nelson Ratliff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1597132225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781597132220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Goose River Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.31d","brand":"Kaye Nelson Ratliff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44127075631359,"sku":"9781597132220","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_312ae7ec-3f42-4b0f-b974-eaf9c8e7e119.jpg?v=1687451727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-river-running-through-him-kaye-nelson-ratliff-9781597132220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
