{"product_id":"o-song-9781967022120","title":"O Song","description":"\u003cp\u003eSharon Webster's second collection of poems and art, \u003cem\u003eO Song\u003c\/em\u003e, sings the richness of everyday life: its outrageous surprises, abundant sensuality, unavoidable losses, and nuanced emotions. A \"pickin' party\" in Kentucky, a saxophone's wail, the loss of a beloved brother, complex love of birthplace - all this and more is explored in poems rich with lyric invention and suggestion. Evocative color images of Webster's multi-media visual art add a soulful, non-verbal dimension to the depth, beauty and music of Webster's yearnings and vivid perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"O, what a wonderful book! -- sometimes quirky and exuberant; sometimes tender, elegiac; sometimes dark, raw. But always Sharon Webster\u003cem\u003e notices things\u003c\/em\u003e: the family house \u003cem\u003eexactly somewhere between a tobacco field and suburbia\u003c\/em\u003e.

In this land where the soft white ghost of our cat\/ comes back to watch at the window, Sharon Webster dissolves the boundaries between art and music, making room for the words\/ in our laps\/ like warm nets. She flows through the nature of cloth, through intimate grief of losing a bluegrass-infused brother, past ancestors in the mirror, to alight on branches heavy with crows. Webster's lyricism is a treasured friend from whom You can part company and not be gone.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Cindy Ellen Hill, author of \u003cem\u003eLove in a Time of Climate Change, Wild Earth\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eElegy for the Trees\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fomite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52034104918290,"sku":"9781967022120","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_42e00c19-7e8b-43ed-9a7f-7658f9f61d2c.jpg?v=1770986442","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/o-song-9781967022120","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
