Building off his debut book, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Human Remains\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e (published 2002), Kerschbaum delves even deeper into his subjects. The cycle of poems in this book evolve from memories of warm youth, into a world where the sky rains the debris of skyscrapers. The world is not what we always want it to be, but the magic of this book is that it also shows us that sometimes the world is what we want it to be, we just need to look past ourselves and accept love and peace in their various forms. With \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Composer Steps into the Fire\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e Kerschbaum makes a bold statement and we hope the composer has not completely burnt away, and that there is even more to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127762731248,"sku":"9781418489021","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781418489021_p0.jpg?v=1763728324","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781418489021","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
