{"product_id":"2940044553972","title":"The Top Out of View","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor more than forty years I've coached football to high school players. What draws me back is that every season offers unexpected moments of truth--framed by the primal intensity of physical competition--for players and coaches alike. Invariably they reveal insights into human courage and fear, humor and grief, doubt and affirmation, that go far past practice and games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose experiences are fleeting, hard to capture with words. I find that even stringing sentences together easily becomes too wordy and off the mark. So in this collection I've used short-line free verse poems to offer readers glimpses of what, in football, most often remains just out of view. Free verse poetry may or may not be a natural genre for writing about football; I do appreciate you wanting to give it a look.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Carlo Naggi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067161034992,"sku":"2940044553972","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044553972_p0.jpg?v=1763664396","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044553972","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
