{"product_id":"purgatory-road-an-invitation-to-redemption-9781967453870","title":"Purgatory Road: An Invitation to Redemption","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis volume is a collection of fragments that break like waves on a stretch of remote coastline that is both real and imagined. Being so marooned brought him closer to nature and to the sacred. Still, he wonders what has been the cost of choices made while those he did not make never saw the light of day. A poem is many things: a stylized narrative, an intimate confession shared with a trusting soul, a meditative thought experimenter, a conversation with an alter ego. It is the recognition of a fall from grace and the slow rise from where we last left our knees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWere the words and verses recited to him by some mysterious voice emanating from beyond, the venerable muse? Is he really their author, or rather an keen stenographer trained in active listening? Should he credit their creation to an otherworldly stream of consciousness, or the unconscious, as each work emerged forcefully with the thrust of both a personal and shared necessity, experiences revisited and reinterpreted, analogous to a birthing that suddenly emerges, defying efforts to be planned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michel Casselman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford Book Writers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781967453870","brand":"Oxford Book Writers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46761363112073,"sku":"9781967453870","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_87909421-7ca2-49fb-bdf0-8846a7b8200f.jpg?v=1779166892","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/purgatory-road-an-invitation-to-redemption-9781967453870","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
