Images and details endorse the hope that marriages might secure Love within families-fathers, mothers, children, friends. Maureen Sherbondy recreates a Past that disappears and reappears with every syllable like a dozer leveling walls inside a house we are invited to enter: one big room shudders with longings for humanity to harmonize elegiac songs of togetherness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShelby Stephenson\u003c\/strong\u003e, poet laureate of North Carolina (2015-2018); author of Slavery and Freedom on Paul's Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLines in Opposition is an apt title for Maureen Sherbondy's collection of observant, reflective, and sometimes acerbic poems. The lines are forthright and the strategic dissonance makes a music suggestive of klezmer: stimulating, energetic, no-holds-barred fun-serious fun. These pieces woke me up. Some will keep me awake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFred Chappell\u003c\/strong\u003e, Poet Laureate of North Carolina (1997-2002)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maureen Sherbondy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195669210X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781956692105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unsolicited Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.26d","brand":"Maureen Sherbondy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046703329535,"sku":"9781956692105","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c794b3ec-d244-4921-a912-2012fd502feb.jpg?v=1684985988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lines-in-opposition-maureen-sherbondy-9781956692105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
