{"product_id":"aftermath-ct-meek-9798861908122","title":"Aftermath: Poems of Repair and Renewal","description":"The collection of poems in this book about Aftermath are my responses to events and experiences across my lifetime from my birth in 1954 in Dublin. The Ireland of my youth was conservative, catholic and nationalist. God, family, the Catholic Church and the nation loomed large in my life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn my experience, a woman's voice was not appreciated unless she spoke softly and deferred to men or even boys. I learned to stand up and to speak out and to use my voice in protest or in joy. To many this meant I was cheeky or direct meaning outspoken and unfeminine. I can laugh at this now but at times it intruded upon my sense of how I wanted to be in the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile my poems talk about legacies and aftermath, they also tell of love, repair and renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ct Meek,Rona Fitzgerald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798861908122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.12d","brand":"Ct Meek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852146946303,"sku":"9798861908122","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aftermath-ct-meek-9798861908122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
