These poems answer by more than memory-by joining the beloved to the present in a way that makes asking itself an answer. An exceptional mind is at work here, lyrically, and with suppositional insistence, making a framework in poetry to approach and reapproach the death and the love-its successes and daily quandaries, its deep companioning-this is what really makes this book sing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Tess Gallagher, author of \u003cem\u003eIs, Is Not\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"What can you do with grief? How can you fill a loss so deep it takes your breath? These poems make of grief a companion, a teacher, a voice. The emptiness the beloved left behind here fills with necessary beauties and essential consolations. In poem after poem, the world testifies for the lost, offers scant remedies-just enough. And oh yes, I must leave a copy of this book for my own dear ones, after. It will provide them.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Kim Stafford, author of \u003cem\u003eSinger Come from Afar\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Derry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936657694\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936657698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moonpath Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Alice Derry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080737091839,"sku":"9781936657698","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ba39250e-8aed-4cd1-be73-6c089b998a66.jpg?v=1685488535","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asking-alice-derry-9781936657698","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
