The poems give form to thoughts, experiences, memories, hopes, and dreams, turning private reflections into something shared. Giskin weaves fragments of memory from childhood with stories of his ancestors in Lithuania, his travels, stunning moments in nature, and the ungraciousness of ageing. And yet, Embers leaves us curious about the potent images of our own lives, and perhaps a little more able to settle into quiet moments of insight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Howard Giskin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1038305365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781038305367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2024","brand":"Howard Giskin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45898378969343,"sku":"9781038305367","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6eba9510-a64a-4384-9acb-dd8a1d260b12.jpg?v=1721376177","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/embers-howard-giskin-9781038305367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
