{"product_id":"joyful-orphan-poems-9781647790943","title":"Joyful Orphan: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003e Through poems of witness, species and habitat extinction, war, pandemic, technology, history, and race, Mark Irwin's elegant collection of poetry explores the collision between metropolis and wilderness, and engages with forms of spirit that cannot be bound. With the incursion of electronic communication, our connections with one another have been radically distorted. Irwin's poems confront what it means to be human, and how conflict, along with the interface between technology and humanity, can cause us to become orphaned in many different ways. But it is our decision to be joyful. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Excerpt from \"Letter\" \u003cbr\u003e Times when we touch hope like the hem of a cloud \u003cbr\u003e just as when we touch a body or door, or think \u003cbr\u003e of the dead come back, romancing \u003cbr\u003e us through the warp of memory, lighting a way \u003cbr\u003e by luring . . . \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647790943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Mark Irwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42573295812789,"sku":"9781647790943","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_47f38911-2b15-417a-ac9c-6fab7ad7ad7a.jpg?v=1672156029","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/joyful-orphan-poems-9781647790943","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
