{"product_id":"9781483513355","title":"The Meanders of a Lifetime: Paths taken ...","description":"The Provocation of Paths Taken\u003cbr\u003eMeandering through three different cultures and languages has made my life an adventure, which has taught me so much. Above all, it has made me who I am: a woman who loves life and has lived a full and interesting one, albeit with ups and downs.\u003cbr\u003eReading has always been a passion for me, ever since I was a child. Writing was part of my professional life as a teacher and researcher. But writing myself is something that I started to do in 2007 and it has been a therapy that has brought me much pleasure and perplexity!\u003cbr\u003eWhen I began writing poetry, I realized that I was ‘writing myself’ and on later reading what I had written, to see myself! It was probably the moment in which I realized consciously that the adversities of life had taught me to look at myself in the mirror and see myself. This is frightening and at times very painful, but I believe it to be necessary for the ride. Poetry for me is passion and it has been to see myself as I never had before. It is probably seeing myself as others see me and that is something I still find difficult to see. I hope you enjoy the read!","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126531670256,"sku":"9781483513355","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781483513355_p0.jpg?v=1763628674","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781483513355","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
