The answer, in these richly detailed poems, is no. Gekker is a keen observer, able to \"unlock the beauty hidden\" in the ordinary. An iridescent grackle becomes a symbol of hope, \"collarbones shimmer like wings.\" Weaving images of the natural world with glimpses of a struggling marriage, Gekker portrays life in all its emotional complexity. \"Two bees are fighting or courting-- I can't tell which,\" she writes in \"To Cast a Shadow Again.\" Yet there are moments of joy, the promise of transformation. \"My shift billows, diaphanous.... I can seduce anyone tonight beneath fronds slicing like blades.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e -- Ellen Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42105050431623,"sku":"9781941783610","price":27.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/ef79a350bb4b12d784658e2c98d382c8.webp?v=1732430736","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/in-search-of-warm-breathing-things-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
