Early poems draw their imagery from working-class family life--a focus that expanded to include the lives of particular women, daughter\/father relationships, widowhood, and other more curious and metaphysical themes often related in a wry and enigmatic style that bears comparison to such modern Polish masters as Szymborska and Milosz. The European element is strong, extending from the streets of Warsaw to the impressions of Nannerl Mozart in Paris, but so is the immigrant experience of the Great Plains--the author was born and raised in South Dakota. In a central section titled \"On the Prairie,\" Chmielarz has chosen poems from three of her books to evoke both the feel and the sometimes grueling history of those new arrivals who followed the trails west.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharon Chmielarz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947237527\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947237520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nodin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.87d","brand":"Sharon Chmielarz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47135440961791,"sku":"9781947237520","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d0e6599-d33e-433b-b998-ab789e7bc821.jpg?v=1755010160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/duet-in-the-little-blue-sharon-chmielarz-9781947237520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
