Whether writing about hairpin turns in the stair of childhood, about the cat's claw of anxiety, on the impending loss of a young friend, or how \"love endures, give or take,\" here is the poet who, in the title poem, \"bartered forty summers for black pearls\" and whose work is full of such wagers, embodied in playing cards, treble notes, snow globes, and balancing acts. Zarin reminds us that the atmosphere created by our experiences shapes and defines the orbit we move through. Along the way, she is both witness and, often indirectly, subject--\"I do not know how to hold the beauty and sorrow of my life,\" she writes. This book is an attempt at an answer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cynthia Zarin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0451494725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780451494726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2017 pg. 84","brand":"Cynthia Zarin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992996348159,"sku":"9780451494726","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c642540d-0e17-4505-b8b7-766c5ccb1010.jpg?v=1683321947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/orbit-cynthia-zarin-9780451494726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
