Perhaps best known for her historical explorations of sociopolitical issues, Martha Collins did not originally intend to publish these poems. But while they are intensely personal, they make use of all of her poetic attention and skills. Spare, fragmented, musical even in their most heartbreaking moments, the poems allow the reader to share both an intimate expression the poet's grief and a moving record of her attempt to comprehend the events surrounding her loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Collins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822965917\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822965916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.20d","brand":"Martha Collins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926549692671,"sku":"9780822965916","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a4e6de51-7543-48c8-ba62-db5ec1d403e2.jpg?v=1681083692","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/because-what-else-could-i-martha-collins-9780822965916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
