{"product_id":"sparks-from-a-nine-pound-hammer-poems-9780807126943","title":"Sparks from a Nine-Pound Hammer: Poems","description":"Sometimes a fact swings down like a hammer and we are changed. The fact of loss, the fact of desire, and all the wild, unruly facts of history hammer down and sparks fly up. This, then, is a collection of facts. In a rushing, rolling style, poems sweep to the edge of falling apart, take great delight in defying that dissolution, and come upon a thing redemptive and clarifying: the fact of love. In a world that \"doesn't really care \/ whether we live or die,\" Steve Scafidi writes, \"tell it you do and why.\" From the unthinkable to the quietly heroic, somehow we have emerged. \u003ci\u003eSparks from a Nine-Pound Hammer\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates that fact most of all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Scafidi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/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 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.04w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807126943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve Scafidi was born and raised in Virginia and earned a master of fine arts degree in creative writing at Arizona State University.
