{"product_id":"9780615147963","title":"Stage Left","description":"Stage Left imbues elements of ballet and music as inspiration, content, and form to explore the rhythms in words and symbolism. Like the illusion of flight in ballet, Stage Left defies the gravitational pull of intensely solemn themes of intolerance, racial identity, miscegenation, and coming of age while working in the constraints of human perception. Divided into the 3 sections, Prelude, Interlude, and Coda, Stage Left is an amalgamation of rhythm, music, dance, and universal themes of race, coming of age, and philopsophy. With poems such as Lady in Waiting that expresses a woman's frustration of waiting for Mr. Right, Dufer laments \u003cbr\u003e\"\"I've grown roses in my eyes\u003cbr\u003eTo see Adonis, flawless, statuesque \u003cbr\u003ePerched upon the highest hill yet \u003cbr\u003eI Feel disappointment when \u003cbr\u003eI met him\u003cbr\u003eIn human form\"\". \u003cbr\u003eThis is Miriam D. Dufer's second book of poetry.","brand":"Miriam D.
