{"product_id":"uncertain-times-alexander-sosnow-9798258066084","title":"Uncertain Times: A collection of poems","description":"A life lived between three worlds. A trilingual journey in English, Russian, and Spanish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy English? Simply because I have lived in the United States for thirty-five years; it has become the language of my daily life, my second home, and the lens through which I see the world today.\u003cbr\u003eAnd why Spanish? In my view, we Russians share a deep bond with the Spanish people-in how we feel and how we react to life. The British and Americans are different, more pragmatic. In the Spanish language, I found the specific colors that best suited my Russian verses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUncertain Times isn't just a book of verse; it's a map of a life lived across decades and borders. Alexander Sosnow brings together a multilingual collection that spans the distance from Soviet-era Siberia to the pulse of modern America. These poems were born in Russian-carrying the weight of classical rhythm and rhyme-and have been carefully translated into English and Spanish. The goal wasn't to force a strict meter in every language, but to keep the raw emotional pulse and meaning intact for every reader. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese poems live in the tension between two worlds-the quiet isolation of New York and the snow-blinding memories of a landscape left behind. It's a book about displacement and the lonely search for where we belong. You'll find everything from deep philosophical questions to narrative pieces with a touch of irony. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt its core, Uncertain Times asks a single, haunting question: What stays the same when everything else-your country, your language, and even your identity-changes? This is an honest, unvarnished look at the human experience that invites you to do more than just read. It invites you to feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Sosnow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798258066084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Alexander Sosnow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49172902936831,"sku":"9798258066084","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/uncertain-times-alexander-sosnow-9798258066084","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
