With its 'radical simplicity and seriousness of purpose, along with a fearless interest in autobiography and its tragedies and redemptions' (Matthew Zapruder, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e), Marie Howe's poetry transforms penetrating observations of everyday life into sacred, humane miracles. This essential volume draws from each of her four previous collections  including \u003ci\u003eMagdalene\u003c\/i\u003e (2017), a spiritual and sensual exploration of contemporary womanhood, and \u003ci\u003eWhat the Living Do\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), a haunting chronicle of personal loss  and contains 20 new poems. Whether speaking in the voice of the goddess Persephone or thinking about ageing while walking the dog, Howe is 'a light-bearer, an extraordinary poet of our human sorrow and ordinary joy' (Dorianne Laux).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852896784542,"sku":"ADS-9781780377247","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781780377247.jpg?v=1779064502","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781780377247","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
