{"product_id":"luis-gonzalez-palma-poems-of-sorrow-9781892041050","title":"Luis Gonzalez Palma: Poems of Sorrow","description":"\u003cp\u003eLuis Gonzalez Palmas photographs are marked by a rich texture of transcendent symbols and an open-armed embrace of beauty. Crowns  roses  and wings appear again and again  yet his world is one haunted by grief. He has said  \"I live in a country where there is mysticism and violence at the same time-where you are enjoying nature and the helicopters are flying overhead to bomb some region; where you know that as you are working  someone is being killed or someone is being baptized.\" However  Gonzalez Palma is no documentary photographer. His landscape is not that of Guatemala but that of the soul  and it is filled with angels and terrifying  mythic beasts. The shadows that pervade it stem less from politics than from the sorrow of the human condition. For all the pain in his work  though  he never takes us to those Gates of Hell  where we must abandon all hope. His subject is grief--never despair.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652305739829,"sku":"ByrdShop_1892041057","price":260.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781892041050.jpg?v=1781850719","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/luis-gonzalez-palma-poems-of-sorrow-9781892041050","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
