The collection's focus ranges from the magical exploits of saints recalled from the poet's Catholic childhood, to her variations on the Zen koan, to the accidental 'out of the blue' poems in the final sequence. Burns draws attitudes which define a way of living - gladness, openness, curiosity, acceptance, and above all sensual delight, in the abundance of the world's offerings, and in the possibilities of language: 'may the polysemic flower bloom'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861489963166,"sku":"ADS-9781920882631","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781920882631.jpg?v=1779252708","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781920882631","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
