{"product_id":"still-life-poems","title":"Still Life Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eConfronted with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Jay Hopler--author of the National Book Award-finalist The Abridged History of Rainfall--got to work. The result of that labor is Still Life, a collection of poems that are heartbreaking, terrifying, and deeply, darkly hilarious. In an attempt to find meaning in a life ending right before his eyes, Hopler squares off against monsters real and imagined, personal and historical, and tries not to flinch. This work is no elegy; it's a testament to courage, love, compassion, and the fierceness of the human heart. It's a violently funny but playfully serious fulfillment of what Arseny Tarkovsky called the fundamental purpose of art: a way to prepare for death, be it far in the future or very near at hand.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 160 x 211 x 12\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Jay Hopler\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9781952119378\u003cbr\u003e\nFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 63\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48954432094361,"sku":"13RC9781952119378","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/Still_Life_Poems.jpg?v=1787837222","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/still-life-poems","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
