A \u003cbr\u003e mother painstakingly alters a dress for a beloved \u003cbr\u003e daughter, and the \"cloth and needle weave her daughter's \u003cbr\u003e dreams.\" Later a daughter mourning her father's \u003cbr\u003e death remembers how \"something vital vanished.\" \u003cbr\u003e From warning a friend against growing \"spoiled \u003cbr\u003e just a bit for ordinary men\" to trying to \"fit this \u003cbr\u003e time among our dearest and darkest demons\" when \u003cbr\u003e moving back to Utah, Sillitoe reveals a world \"where \u003cbr\u003e poems hold such power,\" and each stanza carries \u003cbr\u003e multiple meanings. \u003cbr\u003e Despite, or perhaps in conjunction with, life's joy \u003cbr\u003e and sorrow, Sillitoe's verses reveal an unconventional \u003cbr\u003e spirit determined to transcribe life's experiences \u003cbr\u003e in a manner that is both accessible and extraordinary, \u003cbr\u003e ending with a promise to continue \"scribbling \u003cbr\u003e warranties in the sand. \/ Over time, we lose what we \u003cbr\u003e own \/ and learn the motions that bring it back-- \/ \u003cbr\u003e like this moon, as caught, as wild, as we.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Linda Sillitoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560852666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560852667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Signature Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Linda Sillitoe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485618483455,"sku":"9781560852667","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4243abee-9c50-4e70-a935-0405c4a25f0d.jpg?v=1778050422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/owning-the-moon-linda-sillitoe-9781560852667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
