{ "item_title" : "Songs Of Labor And Other Poems", "item_author" : [" Morris Rosenfeld "], "item_description" : "Songs of labor and other poems presents a lyrical yet unflinching portrayal of working life shaped by exhaustion, sacrifice, and emotional endurance. The collection centers on the inner world of laborers whose daily routines demand physical strength while quietly eroding personal identity. Through reflective and emotionally charged verse, the poems convey how repetitive work reduces individuals to functional parts within a larger system, fostering isolation and quiet despair. Alongside this hardship runs a persistent longing for dignity, connection, and recognition. The poems frequently contrast the tenderness of private emotions with the rigidity of labor, revealing how work intrudes upon family bonds, personal dreams, and self worth. Feelings of grief and frustration are balanced with moments of resilience, where endurance itself becomes a form of resistance. The collective voice woven throughout the poems transforms individual suffering into a shared experience, suggesting solidarity as a source of strength. Rather than offering simple resolution, the collection bears witness to hardship while nurturing hope for social awareness, compassion, and gradual change rooted in empathy and human dignity.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/37/680/689/9376806891_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
