{"product_id":"spring-sonnets-9781945023224","title":"Spring Sonnets","description":"\u003cp\u003eSPRING SONNETS is a collection of 90 sonnets selected from a group of 180 written by Don Yorty during the course of six years, from spring 2003 to spring 2009. Yorty takes this traditional poetic form and skillfully uses it as a container for contemporary writing. With wit, honesty, a sharp eye and a touch of sass, Yorty reflects on myriad topics: urban life (specifically in New York City); the natural world; love, sex, and marriage; family and friendship; aging and mortality; language, teaching, and poetry itself. These poems invite the reader into community with a careful and caring observer of day-to-day simplicities that resonate on a larger scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon Yorty is a poet, educator, and garden activist living in New York City. He is the author of two previous poetry collections, A Few Swimmers Appear and Poet Laundromat (both from Philadelphia Eye \u0026amp; Ear), and he is included in Out of This World, An Anthology of the Poetry of the St. Mark's Poetry Project, 1966-1991. His novel What Night Forgets was published by Herodias Press in 2000. He blogs at donyorty.com: an archive of current art, his own writing, and work of other poets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Yorty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Indolent Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.31d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945023224","brand":"Indolent Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486881243273,"sku":"9781945023224","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_bcf69e0a-7a2f-4186-b4f5-0f8d8a0db620.jpg?v=1775544147","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/spring-sonnets-9781945023224","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
