{ "item_title" : "A Bountiful Silence", "item_author" : [" John Muro "], "item_description" : "John Muro's recent collection, A Bountiful Silence & Other Poems, captivates the reader with its lyrical expressions and odes to nature. Muro employs a tight economy of language in every line, allowing sensory imagery to dazzle evocatively on the page, with lines like the rupture of fragrance from / each swollen blossom that astonishes / and agitates the soul in his poem titled Becoming, and in Something More Than Winter (Weighs Upon Me) he offers a stunning visual, leaves of Klimt gold flutter like torches / set upon the crowns of beech. Other poems are introspective and self-reflective such as Midsummer...and in A Rural County in Connecticut he allows the reader to ponder how regional location affects deeply the poet's multi-faceted and rich lens on art, emotions, family, life, memories, music and nature. A marvelous collection-Sean Frederick Forbes, Ph.D., University of Connecticut, author, Providencia: A Book of PoemsJohn Muro's poetry...is elegant, refined, and steeped in tradition, but it is also surprising and accessible. Excellent poetry is the work of a refined and sensitive artist. John is all of that and more. Read everything he writes.-David W. Berner, award-winning author, Daylight Saving TimeInto a world of too much noise and busyness, John Muro has given us a book of moments in which stillness and attention hush the mind and open the heart, making words themselves take one step closer to a silence that offers comfort and healing.-Margaret Gibson, Poet Laureate of Connecticut, 2019-2022", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/63/980/984/1639809848_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "23.00", "online_price" : "23.00", "our_price" : "23.00", "club_price" : "23.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
