{"product_id":"leavings-2","title":"Leavings: Selected Poems 1990-2021","description":"David Cottingham (b. 1949) has been writing poems, off and on, most of his life. His \"career\"--and the places he has lived and loved, from the plains and mountains of western Canada to the New England coast to the backroads of Europe viewed from a bike--has been as varied as the selections featured in this volume. He has been a taxi driver, hydrocarbon well-log analyst (in oilpatch-speak, a \"mud-logger\"), multilingual font designer, and copyeditor. He insists that he is not a poet, but an ordinary guy who occasionally writes poems. This collection is his first attempt to assemble them as a book, and he offers them as glimpses of one man's irregular quest to grasp reality and make sense of the world, construed with a quirky religious edge-- \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eas if it was all granted on probation by a stern but provident eternitude, fiercely benign, shrewdly forbearing.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46424628035794,"sku":"9798822919747","price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_e5af31d5-3b8a-4a88-9e45-5975d91fa1b4.jpg?v=1763034367","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/leavings-2","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
