Fluently rendered in Gregerson's distinctive three-line stanzas, these poems explore subjects from autism to genealogy to ecology. Their occasions are diverse -- a barn fire, a wounded deer, a child's determined struggle with a bicycle -- but their instinct is always to wrest from the impure world a vernacular of praise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection finds grace in the unexpected: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePoems about Mortality: \u003c\/b\u003e From an open grave in Delft to the quiet bedside of a loved one, these poems confront loss with unflinching clarity and compassion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNature and Ecology: \u003c\/b\u003e A wounded deer, a polluted river, and the surprising resilience of the natural world are rendered in precise, observant detail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFamily and History: \u003c\/b\u003e Exploring the threads that connect generations, from immigrant stories to a father's last days, weaving personal memory with the larger tapestry of history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Distinctive Poetic Voice: \u003c\/b\u003e Crafted in Linda Gregerson's signature three-line stanzas, each poem builds with intellectual rigor and lyrical intensity, earning her place as one of the most celebrated contemporary American poets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 9.01 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 26, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52908460802353,"sku":"9780618382026","price":25.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/3486\/5969\/files\/JpzOkHjkmn9780618382026.webp?v=1783093675","url":"https:\/\/www.welibooks.com\/products\/waterborne-poems-paperback","provider":"Welibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
