Spruce \/ speaking of green on green.\" Between these points, any poem offers a threshold over which something unexpected may pass -- a ghost, an angel, or the yap of an insouciant dog alerting us to apocalypse. \u003cbr\u003eAgainst all that threatens our survival, Earth, Mercy asserts the beauty of our poignantly sensual life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Rose O'Reilley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807149500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807149508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 5.56w x 0.28d","brand":"Mary Rose O'Reilley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926294167807,"sku":"9780807149508","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3e793547-eafa-446e-a08f-1e403f122fae.jpg?v=1681082270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/earth-mercy-mary-rose-oreilley-9780807149508","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
