{"product_id":"9781710268393","title":"Bruise In Bloom","description":"Bruise In Bloom is a poetry collection by Canadian author Jack Blare. At times confessional, apocalyptic, philosophical and surreal, Bruise In Bloom is a poetic portrait of a decaying society and the struggle to stay alive and free in a society that no longer values freedom. Its about anomie and disillusionment with the every day \u0026amp; the price one must pay for peace of mind in a rapidly changing and complex society. Its about mental illness and battles with addiction. About loss and survival. The poetry is mostly free verse stream of consciousness but other styles are included as well. Literary influences include Lydia Lunch, Aldous Huxley, William Blake, Allen Ginsberg, W.S. Burroughs, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Charles Baudelaire and Arthur Rimbaud among other. Blare resides in Ontario working on more poetry and a novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eJack Blare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eDecember 13, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e98 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1710268395\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781710268393\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49200983966001,"sku":"9781710268393","price":13.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781710268393__80831_7d6f3790-ab53-45cd-ac67-0c46d5ddb662.jpg?v=1716879688","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781710268393","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
