{"product_id":"walker-woman-9780970534446","title":"Walker Woman","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere are poems of modern day survival, set in Los Angeles. The woman of the title (from a story by Mary Austin) provides an image for the poet of one who came and went about our western world, establishing a saving relationship with the land. The urban poet grapples with the themes of her life: her dying father, never able to use his teaching credentials; her own adjunct teaching position in the L.A. community college system, full of overcrowding, layoffs, and her beautiful immigrant students; the South Central riots, a forest fire, a flood, and an earthquake complicating her labors; her friend a woman climber who dies of a heart attack in the emergency room; her improbable lover who brings plants and flowers, beer and confusion; and always the return to the land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e West End Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.56h x 5.52w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780970534446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eStein, Julia:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Julia Stein was born in Pittsburgh and raised in Los Angeles.
