{"product_id":"the-sugar-mile-glyn-maxwell-9780618773657","title":"The Sugar Mile","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis stirring verse narrative begins when the poet steps into an uptown Manhattan bar a few days before September 11, 2001. Encountering Joe Stone, a fellow Brit and a barstool regular, the narrator becomes the fated scribe of Joe's memories of London's \"Black Saturday,\" the start of the worst of the Blitz during World War II. As the old man's haunting recollections of the prelude to the Blitz collide with a New York bartender's blithe optimism about the glories of America, we begin to discern the shadows and reflections of the past in New York's impending catastrophe. Deftly moving from past to present, using various poetic forms to delineate each character's unique voice, this verse drama explores everyday beauty and innocence on the brink of disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glyn Maxwell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618773657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618773657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.16h x 5.52w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/17\/2006 pg. 28","brand":"Glyn Maxwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43920394944767,"sku":"9780618773657","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bd5911f6-462f-4b29-97a7-a6e4dd3d8ff6.jpg?v=1680815138","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sugar-mile-glyn-maxwell-9780618773657","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
