Matt Rader's poetry brings subtle slowness to a chaotic, fast-paced environment. It is both celebration and documentation of this world and its relationship to all living things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nightwood Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033885622512,"sku":"9780889712232","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889712232_p0.jpg?v=1763854147","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889712232","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
