Along with the woman's carefully preserved body, with its blue tattoos of leopards and griffins, grave goods were also discovered--rosehips and wild garlic, translucent vessels carved from horn, snow-white felt stockings and coriander seeds for burning at death. The archaeologist who discovered her, Natalya Polosmak, called her 'Ledi'--'the Lady'--and it was speculated that she may have held a ceremonial position such as story teller or shaman within her tribe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrainor uses this burial site to undertake the emotional excavation of the death of a former lover by suicide. This book-length poem presents a compelling story in the form of an archaeologist's notebook, a collage of journal entries, spare lyric poems, inventories, and images. As the poem relates the discovery of Ledi's gravesite, the narrator attempts simultaneously to reconstruct her own past relationship and the body of her lover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Trainor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771664479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771664479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book*hug Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.30d","brand":"Kim Trainor","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078619066623,"sku":"9781771664479","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_05b566cf-5e5f-437f-bbaf-3aaf31a72f49.jpg?v=1685476536","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ledi-kim-trainor-9781771664479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
