{"product_id":"9781499064094","title":"HEARTS AND MINDS","description":"For this anthology of poetry, I would especially like to thank, first of all and most of all, my fiancé of a dozen years, Ms. Kristin Neal. Without her impenetrable help and care, I would never recognize the myriad benefits that love inspires in me, in this kind of blank verse.               I would also like to acknowledge the support of Mrs. Maguy Joseph, who was my companion in Paris for the past six years.             For many years, I have struggled to fill pages of prose, such as many notebooks. I never dared back then to compose any poetry. Significantly, I awoke one day and found (to my surprise) a penchant for rime; albeit blank verse. From many lines, I have consolidated these thoughts into a book of verse, about: holidays; Starbucks; war; love; black issues; and many others. (This is even a sampling.)               Thank you to my readership for experiencing this with me.                   Sincerely,                                     William H Friedman.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47166640390384,"sku":"9781499064094","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781499064094_p0.jpg?v=1763704271","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781499064094","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
