{"product_id":"9781621893998","title":"Between Mirage and Miracle: Selected Poems for Seasons, Festivals, and the Occasional Revelation","description":"In this volume, Shepherd selects from these, and from other unpublished works, to shape a series of poems that seek to portray and even illuminate, to some extent, the life of the spirit. They begin by tracing the progress of a typical year--January through December--but also by noting, and celebrating at times, the high points of \"The Christian Year\": Lent-Easter, Pentecost, Thanksgiving, Advent-Christmas, and Epiphany. Other, more generally themed, less calendar-related poems follow, including poems that reflect on the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center--an attack in which several of the author's parishioners and friends were killed.  This is a book to be dipped into, rather than read right through. It should provide fertile soil for the practice of daily prayer and meditation.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139223994608,"sku":"9781621893998","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781621893998_p0.jpg?v=1763860737","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781621893998","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
