{"product_id":"aftermath-poems","title":"Aftermath: Poems","description":"\"Sandra Gilbert's poems are beautifully situated at the intersection of craft and feeling.\"―Billy Collins The title of this collection―at times mournful, sardonic, and joyous―refers to the grief in the wake of loss. Yet these poems aren't just about the consequences of loss but also about the complex experiences of endurance, acquiescence, and rebirth that, with luck, mark the aftermath of sorrow.\n\nfrom \"Aftermath: Kite\"\nBut the thought is only paper after all,\na soul that clings to a stick, tears open, shreds\nas if it's flung to the ground in a final shiny fall,\nand at last the line goes limp, the climbing ends.\nBeyond the rush \u0026amp; sweep, an arc of silence―\nthough a mind imagined this flight, \u0026amp; proved it once.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393349284\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0393349284.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gilbert, Sandra M.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
