The poems examine the physical ecstatic and devastating experience of Leda, Eurydice, Mary Magdelene, Mary mother of Jesus, Lot's Wife, and the narrator of the Gnostic text, Thunder Perfect Mind. Elements of wind, water, and the flight of geese, swans, gardens and wilderness predominate. The three sections of the book represent spiritual ascension, loss of self, and wandering. There are several love poems. The cover image is a painting by Cecilia Rámone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 30, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Northeastern Minnesota Book Award (2010)\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42129237246087,"sku":"9780984377718","price":16.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/bf3795f615ab63331112986b57ac791c.webp?v=1732601304","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/echo-lightning-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
