{"product_id":"ordinary-magic-9781630450311","title":"Ordinary Magic","description":"\u003cp\u003eAward-winning poet Alison Stone draws from the tarot in her latest collection. These 78 poems range from the archetypal (The Fool, The Magician, etc.) to the everyday situations of love, work, ideas, and conflicts that make up our lives. Mythical figures from past and present appear--Prometheus and Persephone represent court cards, as do Lou Reed and Steve Jobs. By turns witty and heartbreaking, this book goes down easily enough to be devoured in one sitting yet reveals greater depths with each subsequent reading. Stone's accessible lyrics move and entertain us with the struggles and joys of what it means to be human.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStone, Alison:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Alison Stone is the author of \u003cem\u003eDangerous Enough\u003c\/em\u003e (Presa Press, 2014), \u003cem\u003eBorrowed Logic\u003c\/em\u003e (Dancing Girl Press, 2014), \u003cem\u003eFrom the Fool to the World: Poems in the Voices of the Major Arcana of the Tarot\u003c\/em\u003e (Parallel Press, 2012) and THEY SING AT MIDNIGHT, which won the 2003 Many Mountains Moving Poetry Award and was published by Many Mountains Moving Press.
