{"product_id":"9781543902457","title":"Well Beyond the Grace Period","description":"The title collection comprises 28 poems chronicling the descent of a non-believer through debility towards death. The early few poems are short, simple, and light. Later ones are longer and deal with the drudgery of clearing a house, adapting to the constraints of a retirement home, odd encounters there, love and sex in age, and seeing one's life in summary--always with flashes of wit. Later in the book there is an assemblage of poems, featuring 12 glimpses at a process of divorce that is basically modern and amicable--but troubling nonetheless. The final piece is a schoolboy's loving recollection of Sundays spent making music with down-and-out elders possessed of lovely souls. Reading this brief memoir first opens the heart to Mr. DeVore's poetry.","brand":"Bookbaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062248030448,"sku":"9781543902457","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781543902457_p0.jpg?v=1763784135","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781543902457","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
