{"product_id":"wave-maker-9780393337334","title":"Wave-Maker","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Elizabeth Spires's sixth collection of poetry, the pilgrim soul, in its various guises, meditates on its own slow becoming, finding humble companions in creatures as unlikely as a lowly snail, a prehistoric coelacanth, or a tiny Japanese netsuke of a badger disguised as a monk. For Spires, life is both a pilgrimage and a deepening--birth, death, and transformation all part of a seamless continuum. Possessed of a calm, crystalline sense of eternity, her poems invite fellow travelers to sit for a little while and be cleansed of the dust of existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpires, Elizabeth:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth Spires\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of seven poetry collections, including \u003cem\u003eWorldling\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Wave-Maker\u003c\/em\u003e.
