This is a simple book of poetry that anyone can read without feeling his\/her sensiblities are being offended, yet in the juxtaposing of early poems to the late poems, one can realize that the poetry is not a simple process. Poetry, as it should, grows with us a we grow and this book poignantly and energetically shows the maturation of a man, a mind, and a poet.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943461585184,"sku":"NEW0595165338","price":23.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-purple-and-blue-collection-of-poems-volumes-i-and-ii-1982-1998-0595165338","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
