{"product_id":"9781952593482","title":"The Wish Furnace - 9781952593482","description":"Thoreau wrote, \"...I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.\" As well as a writer, Randy Blythe has been a plumber, a percussionist, an editor, a teacher, and a farmer. So it's understandable that a reader will encounter, in The Wish Furnace-Blythe's second full-length collection-abundant evidence that the poems' perceiver, like Thoreau, wants to inhabit every human moment. This is difficult, the reason why a Blythe poem that celebrates belief may be followed by a poem bent on questioning belief's worth. Blythe refuses easy binary thinking when a greater challenge looms. Sometimes labeled \"a religious poet,\" he denies that descriptor, choosing instead to explore matters of existence and spirit simultaneously, with the relentlessness of a born seeker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eRandy Blythe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eFuturecycle Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eApr 03, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e76 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\u003e1952593484\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781952593482\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Futurecycle Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48199603126577,"sku":"9781952593482","price":18.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781952593482.jpg?v=1706191819","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781952593482","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
