{"product_id":"9781988925080","title":"Charred Horses","description":"We live in volatile times and need all the help we can in coping with them. Vancouver poet Jon Ferry, a former international news reporter and newspaper columnist, uses the haunting image of horses burned to death in a British Columbia wildfire as the symbol of a possible nuclear meltdown or other global convulsion. Ferry shares his love of horses and the great outdoors to explore themes of human frailty -- and strength -- in the face of dramatic change. He suggests we must confront institutional lies and embrace down-to-earth truths about how to live the good life, realizing we are governed by forces beyond our humble understanding. His easy-to-read collection of poems may challenge conventional liberal thinking. But it should provide a healthy measure of comfort to those caught in the world's current political, financial and spiritual turmoil.","brand":"Prominence Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034249183472,"sku":"9781988925080","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781988925080_p0.jpg?v=1763673434","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781988925080","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
