{"product_id":"valuing-poems-9780820355702","title":"Valuing: Poems","description":"In his second collection, Christopher Kondrich navigates the link between what we see as our inner value and the external world that supplies it. \u003ci\u003eValuing\u003c\/i\u003e's deeply personal poems explore faith, love, ethics, and mortality from a variety of angles and through a variety of poetic forms as a means of questioning the origination of one's own value system. Does it come from the belief in a god, from the love one gives or receives, or from the diminution of the self and its desires? If \"you cannot sneak through your life,\" as the speaker of one of \u003ci\u003eValuing\u003c\/i\u003e's poems proclaims, then how might one ensure that the noise a life inevitably makes is an echo of the values one holds dear?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Kondrich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820355702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/23\/2019 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCHRISTOPHER KONDRICH is the author of\u003ci\u003e Contrapuntal\u003c\/i\u003e and a winner of the Iowa Review Award for Poetry and the Paris-American Reading Series Prize.
