{"product_id":"horizons-of-joy-poetic-thresholds-for-winter-9780972556248","title":"Horizons of Joy: Poetic Thresholds for Winter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHorizons of Joy: Poetic Thresholds for Winter\u003c\/em\u003e offers a guide for navigating the stark seasons we each go through. This collection invites us to take a time out, to enjoy the days shortening and the nights deepening, as we move through our annual cycle of grieving the old and welcoming the new. As this is often a time in which we wrestle with meaning, this collection also encourages intentionality, in the choosing and using of not only traditionally seasonal words, like \u003cem\u003etidings\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003emistletoe\u003c\/em\u003e, but also their common work-a-day counterparts, like \u003cem\u003estillness\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eyearning\u003c\/em\u003e. Rooted in the deep stories of twenty-eight total words associated with the winter season, this book moves beyond the promise of its title, by taking readers on a spiritual quest encompassing everything from \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ewintercearig\u003c\/em\u003e (winter sorrow) to the Beatles and Santana. In an innovative blend of poetry, meditation, history, and etymology, the book invites readers to revisit and explore cherished but worn assumptions about not just winter itself but the season's multitude of connotations and trappings. In addition, \u003cem\u003eHorizon\u003c\/em\u003e's companion journal, which parallels the book's format, provides meditative writing prompts to explore the numinous power of each word in our daily lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14991386\"\u003eMary Lynne Gasaway Hill\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e River Lily Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780972556248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0972556249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-REL\"\u003eReligion\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-REL000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN000000\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"River Lily Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42701672513773,"sku":"9780972556248","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9fb5538c-14a5-4914-adc6-f37ab62b50e8.jpg?v=1649951744","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/horizons-of-joy-poetic-thresholds-for-winter-9780972556248","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
