{"product_id":"9781496905093","title":"New York Nadir: A Collection of Poetry","description":"It was 2005.  I was living in the New York City area.  My marriage was crumbling.  I was seeing a psychiatrist, therapist and marriage counselor, and gotten off my  bipolar medication for far too long.  The city felt more and more like a goldfish bowl.  I was losing my mind.  Before long I would leave my wife and travel to Los Angeles where I would end-up homeless, sleeping in shelters, committed ot a mental hospital, and have heroine dealers try to sell the drug to me on the street.  These poems, then, are a reflection of that moment, often pitch black, other times radiant and true, but always honest and genuine.  They attempt to express what I was feeling during a time I almost did not survive, and sometimes wished I would not have.  This collection, then was written in ten days in the Journal Square section of Jersey City, NJ.  It was recently found almost ten years later under a pile of newspapers after it had been long forgotten.","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144966881520,"sku":"9781496905093","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781496905093_p0.jpg?v=1763667357","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781496905093","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
