{"product_id":"westport-poems-jonathan-towers-9781556435959","title":"Westport Poems","description":"A beloved, familiar figure known as \"Jon the Walker\" for his daily appearances traversing the marshes and waterways of various Connecticut towns, Jonathan Towers composed brief, emotionally evocative poems until his suicide in 2005 after years of struggle with mental illness. His work was fueled by reading and a rich inner life exploring the tarot, medieval history, courtly love and relationship, and the pre-Socratic philosophers. These poems beautifully evoke a sense of place, while also powerfully critiquing the forces of modern life that threaten it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Towers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1556435959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556435959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Atlantic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.03h x 5.05w x 1.22d","brand":"Jonathan Towers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485616812287,"sku":"9781556435959","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d19d68c8-c554-4e39-b9ab-760f52b5250d.jpg?v=1778050409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/westport-poems-jonathan-towers-9781556435959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
