Cooperman's genius is in storytelling-prior books have honed in on his love of basketball, the Grateful Dead, his family of origin, and America in the 60's. Also a historian, he's written deeply about 19th century frontier Colorado. In this chapbook, Cooperman mines his own history after a storm upends a glass table on his patio. Broken glass! And Cooperman's taken back to the blood and damage of the summer day he ran through a glass door. 67 years later, Cooperman begins the second poem of the collection, \"Some things you don't forget.\" The twenty-four poems here make for a tough, victorious remembrance of a life-changing accident.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Ken Waldman\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of the poetry collection \u003cem\u003eSports Page\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI've long been an admirer of \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Cooperman\u003c\/strong\u003e's poetry.

The body wasn't the only thing wounded-but the emotional wounds send down deep roots. Cooperman is unafraid to show those wounds, to examine them afresh, to help us see our own wounds in new ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Ken Pobo\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 13, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48972849152254,"sku":"9798888389386","price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/QQmOasvcI09798888389386.webp?v=1789572139","url":"https:\/\/123learningstore.com\/products\/august-24-1957-paperback","provider":"123 Learning Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
