{"product_id":"9781477279243","title":"Traces of Our Time","description":"The poems in this book are a compilation of those written in my youth up to those penned a short while ago. I never set out to be a poet, I just couldn’t stop writing them. I have little formal training in structure but hopefully enough to give clarity to the verse. Most are written in iambic tetrameter while some a free style and others cross back and forth. Notwithstanding, all had the same beginning, an inspiration which turned into a vision and then the vision to which I gave a voice. I think the best description was given by Robert Frost,” A poem begins as a lump in the throat; a homesickness or lovesickness. It is a reaching out for expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words”.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47141746245872,"sku":"9781477279243","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477279243_p0.jpg?v=1763613890","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477279243","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
