If \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA House Called Tomorrow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the birthday cake, this is the birthday party: a joyous din of reminiscences, laughter, support, and yet more poems, all bound between two covers. Contributor stories are organized across thematic sections—such as “Personal Voltas” and “Stories for Our Tomorrow”—and are accompanied by a timeline of the Press, historic photos, and facsimiles of touching notes that Copper Canyon has received from readers and poets. The result is a remarkable account of a half-century of publishing, proof positive that poetry is, indeed, vital to language and living. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"River Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Copper Canyon Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2023-09-29","offer_id":44230049202431,"sku":"9781556596971","price":25.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_662e2cd8-f2c7-429f-a383-e155d8135ff4.jpg?v=1692993180","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781556596971","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
