In resonant verse pointed by Cajun language, these poems measure the good that can come from destructive situations: maternal deprivation, spiritual poverty, mania, ecological devastation. Serpas shows that compromised marshes and the Gulf of Mexico offer surprising sustenance and clarity. Time is marked by feast days, hurricanes, celebrations, accidents, and rescues along southern Louisiana's eroding coasts. \u003ci\u003eDouble Effect\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately finds joy in survival, in love, and in spiritual fulfillment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martha Serpas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807172758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807172759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Martha Serpas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988967981311,"sku":"9780807172759","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8dca35e4-0e08-4946-85c7-59120f1bfb1b.jpg?v=1683297215","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/double-effect-martha-serpas-9780807172759","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
