If, as this book's first poem maintains, \"we know each other from what we leave behind,\" Wortsman writes, \"I will hope these cut-up words and images bestir a smile or two on the face of the reader and perhaps a knowing nod.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Wortsman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43866775519274,"sku":"9781962316217","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/what-we-leave-behind-9042072.jpg?v=1764576793","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/what-we-leave-behind","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
