Together, her poems show the great changes families experience - the free and fearless life of a young woman set alongside a dying mother hanging on so she can hold a great-grandchild, the one-sided conversations we have with the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer dynamism is infectious - you are drawn into this family's wonder, love, compassion, grief and happiness. Bergman's poems remind me of Pablo Neruda's belief in the driving force of love: 'Hold on to that, don't let it get away ...' and one of the final poems, 'The Happiness', delivers the book's message: 'Before it leaves, I will bury it deep enough to save.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter reading these poems, you'll feel braced and ready, you'll feel wiser and more generous, you'll want to hold on to moments that contain your own astonishment.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- JACKIE WILLS\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 78\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42160209985671,"sku":"9781910345511","price":17.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/a38b31a5f62fbb7e1e112f429380df51.webp?v=1733272506","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-night-we-were-dylan-thomas-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
