Wakan chose this particular format because it starts with an objective description of the image- \"Early morning \/ the dew still resting \/ where it settled\"-and then pivots to the poet's subjective reaction-\"would we could wake refreshed \/ to look at things in new ways\". Cote's photographs are the perfect inspiration for a poet-\"you're looking at my life and what I love; you're seeing bits and pieces of places I have been; and you're catching glimpses of the best moments of my life.\" The title, \u003cem\u003eNow and Here\u003c\/em\u003e, comes from Henry David Thoreau: \" . . . all these times and places and occasions are now and here.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.25 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 12, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42158429175943,"sku":"9781956056099","price":23.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/3a9292fa3573a916c9dc07c76ae61c1d.webp?v=1733258729","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/now-and-here-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
