{"product_id":"the-arboreal-alchemist-9789359201139","title":"The Arboreal Alchemist","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the gentle embrace of nature, we often find moments that elude our\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehurried gaze, secrets that only the patient observer can truly grasp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The Arboreal Alchemist: Poetry through Nature's Eyes\"\" is a poetry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecollection that invites readers to slow down, to listen closely, and to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efeel deeply the voices of nature. In these verses, I seek to personify\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe elements of the natural world, giving voice to the silent wonders\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat surround us daily. With humility and reverence, I present this\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecollection, a humble offering to the eternal beauty of the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe verses within these pages breathe life into the seemingly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emundane. They celebrate the rustle of leaves as they gossip with the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewind, the shimmering dance of sunlight on water, and the ancient\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewisdom of towering oaks. The poems are born from moments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhen I, like all of us, have failed to truly see the world around me, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emoments when I yearned to perceive nature as she perceives us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tone of this collection is one of reverence and humility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNature, in her infinite wisdom, serves as both the muse and the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ementor. The words flow gently, like a babbling brook, as I strive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto capture the profound beauty and wisdom that lies within\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eevery rock, tree, cloud and gust of wind. It is a humble endeavour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto offer gratitude to the silent forces that shape our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs you immerse yourself in these poems, you will find that they evoke\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea sense of wonder and introspection. They encourage the reader to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereflect on the small miracles that often go unnoticed-the delicate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eintricacy of a spider's web, the steadfast endurance of a mountain, or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe relentless cycle of seasons. Each poem reminds us that the world\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis alive with stories waiting to be heard. There are some surprises in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe form of humour and nostalgia as well strewn across the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ukiyoto Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789359201139\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Somsubhra Banerjee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43624152891573,"sku":"9789359201139","price":8.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bdd81c10-df22-4b10-9643-d35c18188ccd.jpg?v=1707801544","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-arboreal-alchemist-9789359201139","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
