Maceira chronicles, in these lyric poems, a journey from childhood innocence through trauma to survival and resilience. The book reveals the deeper effects of addiction, prison, and suicide on the family members of those afflicted, a topic not often enough addressed. From difficult beginnings, Karen Maceira has managed to earn an MFA at Penn State in midlife and has had over 40 poems, essays, and reviews published in well-known journals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Maceira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635349079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635349078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.09d","brand":"Karen Maceira","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136833499391,"sku":"9781635349078","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_976a2f5e-1540-45a3-8c19-c999135b29bc.jpg?v=1770164828","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-father-and-the-astros-karen-maceira-9781635349078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
