{"product_id":"2940014667098","title":"The Glaze from Breaking","description":"The dreadlocks of polar bears; the atomized droplets of an underground waterfall; oranges as an offering to the dead; a purple hippopotamus wading pool in a strip club; hoar frost and aurora borealis and bail bondsmen and road kill: Joanne Merriam‘s inaugural collection of poetry catalogues morsels of experience. The Glaze from Breaking overflows with lovely, vivid poems about the aftermath of a breakup, and the redemptive power of travel, nature and love. Her language charged with verbal energy, Merriam has crafted a moving portrait of a woman who is saved by her close observation of the everyday wonders of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Glaze from Breaking was originally published by the now-defunct UK small press Stride Books in 2005, and was re-released by Upper Rubber Boot Books in December 2011.","brand":"Upper Rubber Boot Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146149019888,"sku":"2940014667098","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014667098_p0.jpg?v=1763613615","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014667098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
