{"product_id":"9781941783122","title":"The Philosopher Savant","description":"A wise philosopher once said, \"The unexamined life is not worth living.\" In Rustin Larson's The Philosopher Savant, life is surely examined-and remarkably imagined-in poems alive with surprising imagery, fresh metaphors, and a deeply empathic voice for important people, places, and things. True to any philosopher (or poet) worth their salt, Larson makes us think and see the world differently-as when describing the cold \"Thewind put its lips to the house like Alaska\" or a child's fall from a tree \"I let go like a sawn branch from an elm tree.\/I fell and collected the ground with my body.\" These are poems rich with deft leaps and perfect landings, from a poet whose growing body of work is well worth serious examination.\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Seid, author of Age of Exploration, Winner of the 2015 Blue Light Book Award","brand":"Glass Lyre Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47019745149168,"sku":"9781941783122","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781941783122_p0.jpg?v=1763757667","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781941783122","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
