{"product_id":"now-and-here-9781956056099","title":"Now and Here","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this beautifully presented book, poet Naomi Beth Wakan joins photographer Christine Brooks Cote to offer glimpses into their \"now and here.\" Wakan wrote tanka-a format of five-line poems originating in Japan-in response to photographs by Cote. Wakan chose this particular format because it starts with an objective description of the image- \"Early morning \/ the dew still resting \/ where it settled\"-and then pivots to the poet's subjective reaction-\"would we could wake refreshed \/ to look at things in new ways\". Cote's photographs are the perfect inspiration for a poet-\"you're looking at my life and what I love; you're seeing bits and pieces of places I have been; and you're catching glimpses of the best moments of my life.\" The title, \u003cem\u003eNow and Here\u003c\/em\u003e, comes from Henry David Thoreau: \" . . . all these times and places and occasions are now and here.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shanti Arts LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956056099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.25d","brand":"Naomi Beth Wakan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52403497205941,"sku":"9781956056099","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b45a4c10-795a-4289-bc69-4ad92a40beb9.jpg?v=1774969435","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/now-and-here-9781956056099","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
