{"product_id":"book-iq3a","title":"A Deeper Anthology","description":"\u003cp\u003eI currently reside in Texas where I have established my home and lead a solitary life. I am a 28-year survivor of HIV which I contracted through a blood transfusion while serving in the military in 1983, following an oral surgery procedure. In my retirement, I have dedicated my time to fishing, engaging in home improvement projects, and pursuing my long-standing passion for writing songs and poems which I have honed over a period of 35 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an individual imbued with a strong sense of spirit, I believe that all of us possess an innate potential for compassion, albeit to varying degrees. Through my poetry, I seek to convey this inherent quality to those who may not be fully aware of it, but who need gentle reminders that they too are capable of empathy. I trust that my literary works will bring peace of mind and awareness to individuals navigating the stresses of our fast-paced, ephemeral existence, and provide solace by imbuing hope for a better tomorrow, informed by my personal experiences. Ultimately, my objective is to leave behind a brief legacy that inspires others to connect with their humanity and the compassion that resides within them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INAudio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49403704344880,"sku":"BDiq3a","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/iq3a-Square-cover.jpg?v=1773598728","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-iq3a","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
