{"product_id":"field-guide-to-the-lost-eleonore-schnmaier-9780228005810","title":"Field Guide to the Lost Flower of Crete: Volume 58","description":"Thyme clings, high \/ and away from the grazing and scents \/ the air.Island reality is interconnected with live-retrieved memories in which a nurse follows a violent patient into the northern Canadian bush, a migrant mother faces her new job as the village butcher, an Ojibway man is forced to walk a dangerous route home alone, teenagers loot the local dump to build their mother's wheelchair, and an electrician watches a woman play a grand piano on a ballfield.A (re)creation of the surreality and altered time within deep states of grieving, Field Guide to the Lost Flower of Crete juxtaposes sorrow with fragmentary unapologetic joy. Eleonore Schmaier forges compelling symphonic resonances between European musical encounters and a northern working-class childhood. By centring her experiential empathy on a history of racism and poverty, she guides us into better ways of being. Intimate reflections are contrasted with geopolitical and environmental concerns as Schmaier's fierce intelligence focuses on what is most essential in our lives.The arc of this collection offers a rejuvenating meditation on the meaning of loss and love, highlighted by the lyric beauty of the writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleonore Schmaier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228005817\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228005810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Eleonore Schmaier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994569343231,"sku":"9780228005810","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d69d780f-8318-404a-8003-81ca4bf4763a.jpg?v=1683330933","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/field-guide-to-the-lost-eleonore-schnmaier-9780228005810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
