{"product_id":"early-morning","title":"Early Morning","description":"With incredible insight and love, Kim Stafford offers a view into the remarkable life of his father, the poet William Stafford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unspoken deep affection he lived by was like the idea in his poem about the Eskimos-their disdain for \"People who talk about God.\" In his world, a fact so pervasive as love never need be named.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Stafford wrote a poem nearly every day of his life, most often before dawn, as he lay on a much-used couch that bore the imprint of his body after years of use. He was a prolific, highly acclaimed poet, famous pacifist, and extraordinary friend to nearly everyone he met. But Kim was given perhaps his father's greatest gift-and greatest challenge-to be his literary executor. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCarefully sifting through his father's papers-thousands of poems written on napkins, grocery receipts, letters-Kim follows a copious trail of words matched only by his father's silences. Kim is able to visit his father's life in a deeply personal way and, as a result, beautifully illuminates William Stafford as someone who was unafraid to stare into emptiness and to live a life so fully in the moment that he was able to touch countless lives with a single poem.","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563943600454,"sku":"9781555973728","price":25.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/dc31daaf952f27ab55886136bd66264b000e554f4956aac065a1355c91894639.jpg?v=1791625332","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/products\/early-morning","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
