{"product_id":"9781887472685","title":"Blackberries in the Dreamhouse","description":"\"What would happen to us if we were to undertake the discipline of turning our life entirely and self-consciously into a poem? Through Yukiko, who becomes both a contemplative Buddhist and a geisha skilled in the refinements of sensuous pleasure, Diane Frank allows us to live within the soul of a young woman who has undertaken to create a life imagined and expressed as a poem, in every moment, waking and sleeping, making love or meditating. With its power of language, Blackberries in the Dream House will seduce many readers into considering whether a prosaic life is the only choice we have.\"\u003cp\u003ePierre DeLattre\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor of Walking on Air and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTales of a Dalai Lama\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Diane Frank's exquisite sensibility manifests throughout in Blackberries in the Dream House; it is both erotic and metaphysical. In fact, her great strength is that for her there's no division between the two.
