{"product_id":"waterborne-poems","title":"Waterborne: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eA stirring, brilliantly crafted collection, Linda Gregerson's third volume of poetry examines mortality in all its beauty and horror.

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\u003eThis collection finds grace in the unexpected:\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","brand":"Linda Gregerson","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":51671073095986,"sku":"9780618382026","price":12.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/7934\/0850\/files\/9780618382026.jpg?v=1787960072","url":"https:\/\/53rdstreetbooks.com\/products\/waterborne-poems","provider":"53rd Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
