{"product_id":"brother-salvage-poems-9780822959359","title":"Brother Salvage: Poems","description":"The name of the title poem--\"Brother Salvage: a genizah,\" provides a skeleton key to unlock the powerful forces that bind Rick Hilles's collection. A genizah is a depository, or hiding place, for sacred texts. It performs a double function: to keep hallowed objects safe and to prevent more destructive forces from circulating and causing further harm. Brother Salvage serves exactly this purpose. The poems are heartrending and incisive, preserving stories and lives that should not be forgotten. Yet, through the poet's eloquent craft, painful histories and images are beautifully and luminously contained. Like scholars sifting through ancient genizahs in search of spiritual and historical insights, readers immersed in Brother Salvage will find, at the heart of the book, the most sacred entity: hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822959359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.00w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2006 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rick Hilles","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45187175973045,"sku":"9780822959359","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7b34946d-90a5-4b0f-8b37-ea013e414e03.jpg?v=1742271356","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/brother-salvage-poems-9780822959359","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
