Commenting on the most recent of these in the Southern Review, Monroe K. Spears wrote, \"\"Hoffman's new volume seems to me to establish his claim to the title of major poet.\"\" In the New Republic, Josephine Jacobsen observed: \"\"Three major strands knit into a strong texture: myth, history, and immediate experience . . . What he once wrote of Robert Graves is true of his own work: both combine 'A Dionysian compulsion to belief with an Apollonian clarity of presentation.'\"\"  In the opening piece of this volume, entitled \"\"The Poem,\"\" Hoffman writes:  True to itself, by what craft   And strength it has, it has come   As a sole survivor returns   From the steep pass.   Carved on memory's staff   The legend is nearly decipherable.   It has lived up to its vows  If it endures   The journey through the dark places   To bear witness,   Casting its message   In a sort of singing.  Hoffman's poetry is a celebration of life, yet some of his poems have dark implications. \"\"The City of Satisfactions\"\" is a journey into the haunted heart of the American dream. \"\"The Center of Attention\"\" portrays a suicidal man being taunted by a crowd to jump from a bridge, and \"\"Witnesses\"\" explores the aftermath of a car wreck on a desolate stretch of rural highway.  Each of Hoffman's poems represents a striking response to the moments of being alive. Hang-Gliding from Helicon affirms the power of poetry to make possible the acceptance and transformation of life. Daniel Hoffman has given us a remarkable statement of his deep poetic faith.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007715836177,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007720849681,"sku":"NIN9780807114537","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52139156439313,"sku":"NLS9780807114537","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807114537.jpg?v=1751169978"},{"product_id":"alaska-flyfisher-s-odyssey-seeking-a-life-of-drag-free-drift-in-the-land-of-the-book-daniel-hoffman-9781591522935","title":"An Alaska Flyfisher's Odyssey: Seeking a Life of Drag-Free Drift in the Land of the Midnight Sun","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037972332817,"sku":"NIN9781591522935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51417496256785,"sku":"CIN1591522935VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52652775309585,"sku":"CIN1591522935G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1591522935.jpg?v=1751056883"},{"product_id":"global-pharmaceutical-industry-book-daniel-hoffman-9780367514235","title":"The Global Pharmaceutical Industry","description":"The pharmaceutical industry, long thought of as a recession-proof investment, now faces a day of reckoning. The reasons for this impending downfall are not hard to discern. The prices the industry charges for its prescription drugs have escalated at four to five times the cost-of-living increases during the past two decades and have reached a point where 30% of Americans must choose between filling a prescription, paying for housing, and buying food. This has brought about public pressure on governments around the world to control drug prices, yet the world’s twenty largest pharma companies realized 80% of their growth as a result of exorbitant price hikes.  Pharma currently enjoys its extraordinary profitability by exploiting the world’s most vulnerable populations. Yet even their ability to increase prices in the face of falling demand does not satisfy their profit demands. The breadth and depth of pharma’s marketing transgressions exceed those of any other industry and have now reached a point where authorities around the world have found it necessary to take legal action against its violations. Drastic change is needed if the pharmaceutical industry can equitably advance the health of the world’s population and regain public esteem.   This book illustrates the range and extent of pharma’s violations and addresses the actions that should be implemented in order to make the drug industry a more constructive, less venal part of contemporary society. It will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students with an interest in the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare management, regulation, and bioethics.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51296698827025,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51296701514001,"sku":"NIN9780367514235","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52151489724689,"sku":"NLS9780367514235","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367514230.jpg?v=1750942253"},{"product_id":"poe-poe-poe-poe-poe-poe-poe-book-daniel-hoffman-9780807123218","title":"Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe","description":"Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe Poe is the exploration by a distinguished American poet and critic of his own lifelong fascination with the work of Edgar Allan Poe.
