{"product_id":"the-color-of-goodbye-9781954353343","title":"The Color of Goodbye","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Color of Goodbye \u003c\/i\u003e is the sensitively told story of four characters-the poet daughter, the enduring mother, the war-damaged father, and Jim Beam. With compassion and beauty, Pattie Palmer-Baker offers us the saga of her parents which is, in some ways, the story of an American generation. As you read these poems, grieve and appreciate.\u003cp\u003e-Penelope Scambly Schott, Winner of the Oregon Book Award and Author of \u003ci\u003eOn Dufur Hill \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Pattie Palmer-Baker's \u003ci\u003eThe Color of Goodbye \u003c\/i\u003e, we discover new, hard colors that appear with spirits all their own, and then we learn hard truths. What stuns in this sequence, in the echo of image and braiding of keen obsession, is how the poems refuse to back down in their relentless drive to make meaning where there can be none. The voice of these poems isn't asking for sympathy, just a witness. Follow the colors, and you will be that witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-John Morrison, Winner of the Rhea \u0026amp; Seymour Gorsline Poetry Competition, Finalist for the Oregon Book Award, and Author of \u003ci\u003eMonkey Island \u003c\/i\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-5932048\"\u003ePattie Palmer-Baker\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954353343\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954353340\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-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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kelsay Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44709163827437,"sku":"9781954353343","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_e670519b-27b7-4794-95d3-265a114fc0b2.jpg?v=1704005736","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-color-of-goodbye-9781954353343","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
