At turns funny, at turns enraged by injustice, these clear-eyed and kindhearted poems achieve hopefulness without falling into naivety. Indeed, they recognize that \"There is the world we have, \/ and the world we want,\" and that a huge gulf exists between the two. Poetry, though, offers us, we who reside in that first world, a way to access the second, its joys and miracles, and we're lucky to have Bob Pfeiffer to show us the way.\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cstrong\u003eJames Davis May\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eUnquiet Things\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Inexhaustible Before\u003c\/em\u003e, his powerfully moving second collection of poems, Bob Pfeiffer writes, \"This world is divided into two types of people: those with empathy for the living...and those without.\" Unquestionably the poems of this book express empathy at every turn: for past girlfriends, polar bears, animals struck by cars, tsunami victims, a mother diagnosed with cancer, a girlfriend become wife, a baby daughter...Underpinning the voice of this emotionally rich book is a belief in our shared humanity and the ultimate hope for redemption through love.\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cstrong\u003eBeth Gylys\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eSky Blue Enough to Drink\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 05, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54050835661107,"sku":"9781632100290","price":23.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/k9MgWimk5J9781632100290.webp?v=1788987527","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-inexhaustible-before-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
