{"product_id":"provisional-conclusions","title":"Provisional Conclusions","description":"A diagnosis of ADHD at age fifty-five can make you stop and think. So can losing your daughter to a drunk driver two days after her eighth birthday-or looking up at the majesty of the Big Buddha in Phuket after getting lost in the mountains on the way there. Spanning a period from high school in the seventies until a few hours before it went to the editor, the poems in Provisional Conclusions explore these topics and more: being a parent, being a man, living with ADHD, the legacy of Howard Thurman, the myth of objectivity, the delight and terror of raising a family, the dreams of Korczak Ziolkowski, and even a quick peek into hell. Poet Mike Fedel also considers race, sex, love lost and found, philosophy, consciousness, and God-what is she like, anyway? Sections include \"Thinking Out Loud,\" \"The ADHD Chapter,\" \"Loss,\" and \"Love and Nervous Energy.\" Offering accessible observations on a wide range of topics, the verses in this collection consider the raw emotions associated with love, grief, and ADHD. ..\".powerful and poignant poems which capture a father's experience of losing his 8 year-old daughter...\" -Irving Leon, Ph.D. ..\".the poetry of a brilliant, often misunderstood ADHD mind, trapped in a linear world...\" -Suzanne Ostrowski-Dansel, M.Ed., ACC ..\".fresh, moving poems by Mike Fedel, an important new voice in music and now in poetry...\" -Anna Boothe, Author of \"I Already Love You,\" \"Beyond Words,\" and \"Buddha.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eMike Fedel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eiUniverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eFeb 20, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e128 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\/Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1491779942\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781491779941\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ReComparo.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46450273812615,"sku":"9781491779941","price":22.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/2627\/8535\/files\/9781491779941__32016.jpg?v=1793994047","url":"https:\/\/globalsurvivor.co\/products\/provisional-conclusions","provider":"Global Survivor ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
