{"product_id":"hold-sway","title":"Hold Sway","description":"Poetry. To hold on to what is in motion, or to persist at being in motion (not inert!): these are the twin goals of Ball's poems.

Climate anxiety, numbing corporate manipulations of our attention, crimes on both a personal and a grand scale (like being someone's knife-point hostage, or filming the police after they have killed a suspect, or the Paris attacks, or the pollution of the oceans...): all are tangled up with how to live one's American life (raising children, losing a marriage, watching tv--) as Ball seeks \"a footing in hope, ... a stay.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0997318473\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0997318473.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ball, Sally\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
