{"product_id":"9781462868292","title":"The Masquerade Ball: A Collection of Poetry","description":"I was born November 23, 1979, I started writing poetry at the age of 13, for me it was a way to express myself. My first published poem was titled “Do You Love Me”, and it was published in a collection created by the National Library of Poetry. “The Masquerade Ball” is actual my second full collection of poems. My first collection was finished while I was still in high school, but it was never published. I have two wonderful little girls, they are the reason why I am here today, this book and every book to follow is for them to show them that you can forefill your dreams and accomplish anything you put your mind to.  Currently I am attending Rutgers University, Newark Campus working on my BA in English with hopes to go straight into the Master’s Program for Creative Writing. I am also currently trying to build up my small business mainly dealing with Greeting Cards, but not limited to that.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47129559793904,"sku":"9781462868292","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781462868292_p0.jpg?v=1763679273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781462868292","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
