Yet it also has a strong relationship to my previous volume called '\u003cstrong\u003eSummer With The Gods\u003c\/strong\u003e' - where this new book asks for '\u003cstrong\u003eLouder Prayers\u003c\/strong\u003e' combined with a further search around the edges - those still unexplored areas not quite touched on before. It is certainly a further development of my writing style, and although its physical presentation is designed to give the feel of a prayer book, it is an honest proposition and not in any way disrespectful, sarcastic or facetious. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother strength of these poems is a legitimate need to touch on a number of social issues - coming at them in abstract ways. Since I do not favour any political or social leaning, there is no attempt to sway the reader. Yet I feel my observations, political or religious, need at least to be aired - or what's the point? In no way is my work an exercise in demonstrating pc notions or pseudo-religious guidance, but words must be allowed to identify potential problems and quasi current situations in a critical or merely heuristic sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 09, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42707120390207,"sku":"9781838274665","price":16.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/dc7b166da7bb61cbfa2c02398768c591.webp?v=1765042883","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/louder-prayers-seventy-one-poems-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
