{"product_id":"9780692255124","title":"Prayer Flag Poems","description":"Prayer Flag Poems are \"old world\" cinquain poems. Not because \"old world\" is a bad thing. As Aldous Huxley suggests, the \"new world\" isn't that good, or new, or brave. I say \"old world\" from a place of reverence for cultures that have inhabited lands for far longer than America has been called America. I say \"old world\" from a place of respect for the age of our planet, and the enduring peoples who have lived in a sustained harmony with our old world for thousands of years even as emergent paradigms have threatened the survival of our planet in the past few hundred years. I say \"old world\" because, unlike contemporary definitions, the term, cinquain, originally referred to any five line poem.","brand":"Swimming with Elephants Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50089162277104,"sku":"9780692255124","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780692255124","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
