{"product_id":"the-widower-considers-candles-9781938812385","title":"The Widower Considers Candles","description":"\"The Widower Considers Candles,\" Robert Lavett Smith's third full-length collection, is his most varied so far-formal sonnets interspersed among free verse poems. Familiar themes are present in abundance: grief, loss, and the daily coming to terms with an increasingly complex and often disheartening existence. But humor is evident, too. Now in his later fifties, Smith continues to grow and develop, and remains unafraid to venture into previously uncharted territory. The result is a book that is both challenging and rewarding. Sometimes grim but often joyous, consistently well-crafted, \"The Widower Considers Candles\" is both thoughtful and humane, ultimately celebrating the quiet, everyday perseverance of the human spirit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Lavett Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Full Court Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781938812385","brand":"Full Court Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45521339515017,"sku":"9781938812385","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_8796d2cb-edb9-4314-982f-b105f5aae4d3.jpg?v=1776227378","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-widower-considers-candles-9781938812385","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
