{"product_id":"pop-smoke-pray-9780615171807","title":"Pop Smoke \u0026 Pray","description":"Frank Barry Smith, now retired and living in Washington state, served as a combat medic in the Vietnam war. This collection of poetry--written mostly while in Vietnam--chronicles first and foremost the friendships made and lost during war time. \"I have made friends and lost them \/ in ways more quickly than some \/ but less than others...\" Smith writes in \"THE MIDDLE,\" ironically the book's final poem. POP SMOKE \u0026amp; PRAY is a book of memory, a book of fear, a book of observation, a book of confusion and youth and a time that seemed to go at lightspeed while the long days still dragged into even longer nights; but, most importantly, POP SMOKE \u0026amp; PRAY is a book about love and its ability to remain and be found in the worst situations. Frank Barry Smith studied poetry under Philip Levine, Robert Mezey, and John Logan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frank Barry Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lrs X Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615171807\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lrs X Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43969203208307,"sku":"9.78062E+12","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5969cb74-5a52-4505-bea7-8b00011dfe68.jpg?v=1760304055","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/pop-smoke-pray-9780615171807","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
