Wakefield revs up for his relay race to the light with refreshing humor and insight by finding meditation as the love of his life, accepting bliss and learning to let go. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the poetry in \u003ci\u003eA Choir of Honest Killers\u003c\/i\u003e undeniably throws plenty of insightful punches, it's the through-story about moving from devastation to frequent serendipity that gives the book pace. But it's worth noting, as Wakefield writes, \"Perfect probably isn't what you think it is.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Button Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781638341482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Buddy Wakefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52733921231029,"sku":"9781638341482","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-choir-of-honest-killers-9781638341482","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
