{"product_id":"9781626758759","title":"Poetic Potpourri: A Collection of 101 Selected Poems for Your Reading Pleasure","description":"This is a rather small selected collection of 101 poems written over the years covering various subjects which should be of interest to everyone. Anyone should be able to find a poem to his liking, as the poems are so varied and appeal to all age groups. I started writing in high school but there was a long hiatus due to time constraints taken up by medical schooling and the residency training years - leaving hardly any time for outside activities. \u003cbr\u003eI started writing again when I was stationed at Ft. Sill, OK, during the Desert Shield \/ Desert Storm conflict as part of my deployment while in the US Army Reserves. I was asked by the Editor of our Medical County Society's magazine - \"Coastal Bend Medicine\" to write something about my experience while still at Ft. Sill. I wrote an essay and decided to include a poem to go along with it - \"The Citizen Soldier\" - honoring our various services reservists. However, It's just been in the past few years that I have \"rediscovered\" my penchant for writing again - for my own enjoyment and to share with family and friends, and now with you.","brand":"BookBaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148870664432,"sku":"9781626758759","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626758759_p0.jpg?v=1763864834","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626758759","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
