{"product_id":"2940152946260","title":"Loosely Collected: A Book of Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eI’ve never really considered myself a poet. My writing efforts are typically focused more on fiction. However, over the years, I have written the occasional poem here and there. I have collected these random poems in notebooks and computer folders for years. Recently, I decided I should round them up and publish them in case someone should decide they are worth reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wrote some of these poems when I was a teenager; others while in my twenties. Most of those were free verse. In my thirties, I took a graduate-level course in writing poetry for children and young adults. That’s when I began to experiment with forms other than free verse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI call this collection, “Loosely Collected,” as I am unsure that it really has an overall theme like most poetry collections usually do. These poems range from some that are childlike in nature and suited for a young audience to those that are more suited for an adult audience. I have arranged them so that the most childlike poems come first, with the rest of the collection “maturing” as you read through it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amanda L.
