{"product_id":"between-9781981860517","title":"Between","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetween offers an assortment of poems, written using scriptio continua (a style of writing without spaces, or other marks between the words or sentences) to express Rudel's observations of the world around him. This collection of poems, as its title implies, is filled with deep thoughts between the lines. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection immediately draws its reader into the continuum of stories, with its own natural rhythm, giving us a sense of familiarity. The author writes with such compassion and understanding of human experience that we are left with a sense of exposure of our own feelings, but without vulnerability. Rudel shares his feelings with such abandon that we feel comforted by the validation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRudel gifts us with real tales of life that leave us wondering if he has stolen a glimpse into our very own experiences. Without beginning or end, Rudel takes our hands and walks with us through the continuous words of his stories, allowing us to see his perspective but giving us permission to create our own. The brilliance of his writing and use of scriptio continua lets us share in his journey which, uncannily, merges with our individual journey, and we are left with nothing in between. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderstanding life's challenges and sharing his compassion, Rudel's mastery of story-telling awakens in us a connection to each other, which he designs through the linking of words without unnecessary pauses or punctuation, merely a continual discourse which has a natural ebb and flow. He reminds us that literature, in its purest form of poetry, expresses the true essence of the soul and is necessary for our existence. Rudel gives us a place of conversation where there otherwise would be none. His masterful work of art is its own advocate for written expression without forced interpretation, and is an example of poetry that must continue. Rudel has created a piece of literature, pure and true, that transports us beyond the surface, to a place of expression to what lies beneath, and between. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon, Rudel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781981860517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.17d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rudel Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32710218514507,"sku":"9781981860517","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_14a5e6a0-e0cf-4d7e-bf4a-694f50b4cf77.jpg?v=1596731058","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/between-9781981860517","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
