{"product_id":"frayed-linens-marilyn-bowering-9781990773679","title":"Frayed Linens","description":"Marilyn Bowering casts the poet as a traveler, and Frayed Linens is a poet's exorcism of the nightmares that haunt today's world. She writes of beauty and resilience within darkness, from the ruins of Greece to the horrors of Mariupol, showing how History echoes itself at every turn. She is accompanied in these poems by ancestral and mythic figures, beloved poets, and the ghosts of her own life-story as the body and spirit - the frayed linens of the title - are worn and renewed over time. From a mother's sorcery, to a satyrical abduction, to a Celtic saint's interventions, and the stone hands of a gargoyle, the range and energy of Bowering's new collection cannot conceal the tenderness that propels it. These are poems of witness, empathy, and compassion, clear-eyed in their confrontation of failure and in the capacity of friendship, love, and will, to retain redemptive power. Cover and interior photographs by Xan Shian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Bowering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1990773672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781990773679\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Exile Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Marilyn Bowering","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962240258303,"sku":"9781990773679","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d98822e-9391-484b-b602-7fd4a4bfda10.jpg?v=1750649755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frayed-linens-marilyn-bowering-9781990773679","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
