{"product_id":"god-particles","title":"God Particles","description":"\u003cp\u003eGod Particles displays the distinctive originality and unpredictability that prompted the Washington Post Book World to name Lux one of this generation's most gifted poets. A satiric edge, tempered by profound compassion, cuts through many of the poems in Lux's book. While themes of intolerance, inhumanity, loss, and a deep sense of mortality mark these poems, a lighthearted grace instills even the somberest moments with unexpected sweetness. In the title poem Lux writes, \"there's no reason for God to feel guilt \/ I think He was downhearted, weary, too weary \/ to be angry anymore . . . \/ He wanted each of us, \/ and all the things we touch . . . \/ to have a tiny piece of Him \/ though we are unqualified, \/ of even the crumb of a crumb.\" Dark, humorous, and strikingly imaginative, this is Lux's most compassionate work to date.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48836103962829,"sku":"9780618931828","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_36fd803b-3d5f-4276-8e5c-62bc806c5898.jpg?v=1790992763","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/god-particles","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
