The intersection of science and spirit is where these poems reside, and while they offer depth and insight, they ask an equal number of questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Bates' first book of poetry, but it comes on the heels of 22 years of publishing seven non-fiction books of observations in Wisconsin's Northwoods. The book is divided into three sections: Water, Woods, and Home. In every one, a mindful appreciation lights the way, along with a heartful resonance to the communities of life that we all live within. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.24 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 19, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47406573289650,"sku":"9780965676373","price":17.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5aff07b01f42de9f103ef70cc0eccd34.webp?v=1778203261","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/cold-to-the-bone-poems-by-john-bates-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
