{"product_id":"the-history-of-tree-roots-9781936135189","title":"The History of Tree Roots","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough these poems are informed by a lifetime of living in the Ozarks, readers will not find the over-wrought sentimentality, tired stereotypes, or visions of an indestructible, primeval wilderness that have too often colored writing set in this region. Instead, these poems recognize the attributes and faults of the past and present, challenge the clich d representations of place, and engage the experiences of small and independent farmers--a group largely ignored in depictions of the region. These poems also move beyond the Ozarks by addressing a number of universal concerns, such as urban sprawl, the devaluation of manual labor, a diminished sense of place, the loss of small communities, and the fragility of the natural environment.\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-9998992\"\u003ePhillip Howerton\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Golden Antelope Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936135189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936135183\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-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican | General\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-POE023040\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | Places\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Golden Antelope Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44696932286701,"sku":"9781936135189","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9fd28107-de17-4c56-88b5-6804705d5fc3.jpg?v=1703809361","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-history-of-tree-roots-9781936135189","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
