{"product_id":"9780962761584","title":"Summer Words, 2000 eBook","description":"It began as a mass attack on writer's block.  My strategy:  Write a 200 word essay every day during the summer of 2000.  What it became, once I dispelled the nonsense of “grander notions of the purpose of art,\" was this collection of some of the best words I have ever written, such as the following excerpts:  And when air is given flight in laughter, and food is given art in flavor, and sex is given bliss in love--we're talking profound existence. \/ Truth spoken becomes myth.  Life given to myth can never know Truth. \/ And the Poem... how I revel in the wretched-blissful-winsome hilarity of the Poem I live. \/ For nature, we must show up with a canteen of water and some quiet shoes. \/ ... what I know most passionately—the incredible significance of a smile.
