Fluently rendered in Gregerson's distinctive three-line stanzas, these poems explore subjects from autism to genealogy to ecology. Their occasions are diverse -- a barn fire, a wounded deer, a child's determined struggle with a bicycle -- but their instinct is always to wrest from the impure world a vernacular of praise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow does a poet find praise in a world marked by both beauty and horror?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAward-Winning Poetry:\u003c\/b\u003e Winner of the Kingsley Tufts Award, this collection showcases the masterful craft and intellectual rigor that has made Linda Gregerson one of her generation’s most acclaimed voices.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePoems about History and Memory:\u003c\/b\u003e From the trials of New England colonists to the quiet grief of a family, these poems traverse centuries to find the human heart of the past.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUnflinching Look at Mortality:\u003c\/b\u003e A wounded deer, a barn fire, a child’s illness—Gregerson confronts the difficult moments of life and death with precision and grace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNature and Ecology:\u003c\/b\u003e The collection finds profound meaning in the natural world, from a river that “makes some difference” to the complex life of a rural landscape.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Linda Gregerson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46905605030037,"sku":"9780547346878","price":8.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780547346878.png?v=1777422897","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780547346878_waterborne","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
