In Eyes on Mars, he invites the reader to come with him on a visit into his childhood and the realities which accompany anyone carrying a sense of loss into an unknown future. \u003cbr\u003e Not all harms are visible, and the poet knows that people never \"get over\" the traumas of life. Instead, loss becomes a companion which can either cripple or turninto a pathway to a deeper and more compassionate life. \u003cbr\u003e Eyes on Mars is both poetry and memoir. Smith reveals the childhood events that set him on a personal journey. His poetry tells the rest of the story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rob Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Drinian Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941929179","brand":"Drinian Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42879829409929,"sku":"9781941929179","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d934f6a1-2afa-4072-9dd7-d784ea5c140e.jpg?v=1722932490","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/eyes-on-mars-a-poetic-memoir-9781941929179","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
