Frame has the skill and talent to change circumstances and incidents to artistry, gifted with the authenticity we want in a poem. We tell our students, \"Be more like yourself, more and more each poem.\" Now we can just say, \"Read Chad Frame.\" He's not afraid of fear; he's not ashamed of shame. Plato talks of pleasure\/pain; and neuroscientists can now measure it; but nowhere do we know more its balance than in fine poetry. Part autobiography, almost novella-in-verse, we have characters, situations, and plot, elevated by craft and lyric to make poetry. Frame ends his book with the words 'this buoyant heart is yours'-We say \"ours, too.\" \u003cem\u003eLittle Black Book\u003c\/em\u003e moves poetry forward.\u003cstrong\u003e-Grace Cavalieri\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet Laureate of Maryland\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.15 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47581981147357,"sku":"9781646627837","price":34.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/fB06y-zpdH9781646627837.webp?v=1773566772","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/little-black-book-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
