{"product_id":"5053760093176","title":"Earthling","description":"Rusting, like all of David Axelrod's books, is compelling. Axelrod offers these poems \"... as life lessons. I am not just writing poems, I am fostering empathy. Let us share what we have, for better or worse, and make something good of it. I may not be a life coach, but I do wish us all a happier existence and these poems are the closest I can come to a survival guide.\" Axelrod's poems are personal and moving and, as mirrors to ourselves, elicit a number of emotions in the reading. One must agree with the praise given for his works: \"One of the finest and most original American poets now writing. \" X.J. Kennedy; \"Axelrod is a treat.\" The New York Times; \"A best bet.\" Newsday; A summer Best Pick.\" Small Press Review; \"(Poems to) cherish and pass around ... a prize to keep.\" William Stafford.","brand":"Traffic Entertainment Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50096212738288,"sku":"5053760093176","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/5053760093176","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
