Yet his keen eye in and of the natural world does lead to the scales balanced, if precariously--in belonging \"on the brief earth,\" in parsing spring from grief, in \"the good story of the body\" whose light becomes \"the shine of spirit.\" A master poet works this crescent blade, a master who embraces life's whole catastrophe as equally as he farewells it past. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e--Linda Parsons, author of This Shaky Earth \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 114\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 10, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44429475250311,"sku":"9781947504202","price":23.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/LQBJuk778a9781947504202_65f49759-8c29-4cc3-b3b8-1f38db3c8099.webp?v=1776140162","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/family-portrait-with-scythe-poems-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
