{"product_id":"bitter-melon-9780988432413","title":"Bitter Melon","description":"In this debut poetry collection, Elvis Alves uses bitter melon as a metaphor for life's experiences. He does more than ruminate about the bitterness of life and seeks to locate the truth in the adage \"life is what you make of it.\" He plays with the notion that modes of relating (i.e. to self, God, nature, other human beings) are at the core of what it means to take ownership of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elvis Alves\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahaicony Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780988432413\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElvis Alves was born in Guyana and raised in Brooklyn, NY.
