A nominee and finalist for Poet Laureate of California, she continues to reflect the ethnic scramble of Los Angeles, where she has been honored by proclamations from the city's elected officials, including the mayor's office, the city council and the Department of Cultural Affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wanda Coleman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822961644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822961642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2011 pg. 12","brand":"Wanda Coleman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926547267839,"sku":"9780822961642","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_51b45aa7-5911-45f3-997f-fb4b1d4876d4.jpg?v=1681083677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-falls-away-wanda-coleman-9780822961642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
