{"product_id":"9781489705563","title":"Poems of Love and Loss: Friends, Lovers, Self, and God","description":"\u003cp\u003eCollege was a difficult time for me. Between the ideas of free love and drug experimentation, I felt lost and confused most of the time. I started writing down thoughts and feelings to help me cope with emotions that I could not or did not totally understand. In the beginning I only numbered my thoughts, but as time passed I started naming my works after the people who touched me in some way or by an event that was shared with someone special. My original writings started in 1973 when I was at the University of Central Arkansas and continued until I was in my forties. Since that time I have kept a journal that has become more of a source of comfort to me than my poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hope that you find comfort, solace, joy, or pleasure from reading my memories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LifeRich Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49966760526064,"sku":"9781489705563","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781489705563","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
