{"product_id":"9781453544914","title":"Paper Pen Poetry","description":"I have always found it to be easier to put pen to paper when I express myself. Hence, poetry for me is a release or a haven depending on how I mean it at the time.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFor months now, I have mulled over the idea of putting this book together.  I have finally attempted to do just that.  Putting this book together has become more of a life journey for me because my poems were written at different stages of my life. There are poems about being a daughter, a young bride,  a new mother, a college student, a grandmother and, unfortunately, a widow. Some of my poetry might be seen as depressive but these poems are also telling a story of the many detours and dark alleys I encountered and tried to avoid only to end up confronting them as best I could.  However, in all of my journeys, I had my poetry.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThe earliest poem, The Passing of An Indian, I wrote when I was around twelve years old and the latest one, Suffering, I wrote about a month ago. I have not saved all of my poems over the years but this little book contains a collection of many of them.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eI currently live in Bellevue, Nebraska. I am the mother of five grown children and the grandmother of twelve.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003ePatricia Hamblin  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143387037936,"sku":"9781453544914","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781453544914_p0.jpg?v=1763848160","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781453544914","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
