Society, politics, the environment, and our fragile relationships with each other are rapidly changing. We are at the precipice. Where do we look for hope and renewal at this zero hour, except within ourselves and each other? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe four chapters, Losing Time, Out of Time, Mending Time, and Ignoring Time, outline a continuum from decay to restoration. Each poem, a stepping stone on our journey through these tumultuous days. Poverty, education, the skewed distribution of wealth and resources, chronic illness, finding one's voice, recovering from trauma, and protecting the environment, are just some of the many topics covered in this collection of poems by Laura West Hall. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the surface, it's easy to overlook a hole in the ground, \u003cbr\u003eeven one filled with want.\u003cbr\u003eBut from the bottom of the well, the only view is the hole above, \u003cbr\u003ethe glimpse of sky, \u003cbr\u003ethe promise of expanse...\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWarning: Mild profanity - obscured by the obscenity of the American political climate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura West Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798809824606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Laura West Hall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48996666835199,"sku":"9798809824606","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-broken-things-laura-west-hall-9798809824606","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
