She often redirects us from the seriousness commonly found in poetry, to humor instead. We see words appear from boot prints in snow, whales rejecting civilization, an egret as punk, the Zen perspective of a baby dragon, and a child communing with a bull in a pasture. How nature makes the best theatre comes through all her senses. A garden's shadows can enrich one's' world, answering our desires. This writer reveals a truly philosophical approach to a world quickly fading from our consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 23, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42091688427655,"sku":"9798888387337","price":40.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/8fbec6b8a25bfcf2a07eb98e6fe409cf.webp?v=1732294216","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/matches-strike-boxes-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
