Harsh honesty charges these poems--both with pure electricity and with the mission to find escape from violence, to find how to bear chaos and grief. The brothers' ordinary roughhousing is shadowed by the violence of their family life, but something pure does survive and flourish, until \"we slept \/ at night with the breaths of the marriage around us.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doug Ramspeck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1944585605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944585600\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Word Works\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Doug Ramspeck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133226152191,"sku":"9781944585600","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e3e10c4-5427-4f51-b0db-8472650b8643.jpg?v=1687484833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blur-doug-ramspeck-9781944585600","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
