{"product_id":"ghost-woman-crystal-simone-smith-9781478034087","title":"Ghost Woman: A Rising","description":"In \u003ci\u003eGhost Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, Crystal Simone Smith explores the long and deep connections between nature, personhood, ancestry, and trauma through haiku and haibun. Separated into five sections, the poems emphasize the way social bonds and landscapes are reflected in and through the environment. Smith brings her experiences with race, motherhood, and poetry into conversation with the five elements, Wind (\u003ci\u003eFu\u003c\/i\u003e), Earth (\u003ci\u003eChi\u003c\/i\u003e), Water (\u003ci\u003eSui\u003c\/i\u003e), Fire (\u003ci\u003eKa\u003c\/i\u003e), and Void (\u003ci\u003eKu\u003c\/i\u003e) to take readers through an introspective haiku journey, an exploration of the nature of the self as well as the nature of the broader world. Balancing shattering grief with ordinary moments of love and trauma with survival, \u003ci\u003eGhost Woman\u003c\/i\u003e weaves a narrative verse of single motherhood, bearing witness, and carrying your history with you. The poems in \u003ci\u003eGhost Woman\u003c\/i\u003e invite the reader to be with nature and themselves more intentionally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Crystal Simone Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478034084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478034087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Crystal Simone Smith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997218156799,"sku":"9781478034087","price":95.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghost-woman-crystal-simone-smith-9781478034087","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
