{"product_id":"9780615990422","title":"An Affair In The Valley","description":"AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY is passionate poetry about openings- opening the door to home, to the greatness of life, to love and its companions- joy and gratitude. \u003cbr\u003eThese poems have been scraped off the wall of \u003cbr\u003eSteve Jackson's everyday life and carefully sifted through an exquisite prism of awareness. He sees the light because he's seen and felt the darkness- \u003cbr\u003elived for months out of his pickup and heard a 100 silent doors slam behind him. But there is no bitterness here. \u003cbr\u003eHis poems are an accessible, glowing testament of a conscientious witness with an uncanny knack for isolating precise words and the exact inflection of a moment- \u003cbr\u003ewhich he freezes into language that allows readers to extract the poem's purest essence. \u003cbr\u003eIf Dante's Inferno is a guided descent into the hideous abyss,\u003cbr\u003ethen AN AFFAIR IN THE VALLEY is the reverse- \u003cbr\u003ean ascendance into light and the lightness of being- \u003cbr\u003ean affirmation that \"This is your home- \u003cbr\u003ethe universe-\/ the universe loves you.\"","brand":"Jackson, Steve Games, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013436129520,"sku":"9780615990422","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780615990422_p0.jpg?v=1763602312","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780615990422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
