{"product_id":"refugee-pamela-uschuk-9781636280196","title":"Refugee","description":"\u003cp\u003eTaking the reader across our country through the varied landscapes of Colorado, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Arizona, \u003cem\u003eRefugee\u003c\/em\u003e discusses the nature of seeking shelter. We are all refugees looking for a haven from whatever oppresses our lives. What constitutes a refugee is at the heart of the collection. Poems confront and explore xenophobia, sexism, gun violence, domestic violence, corporate greed, and their ties to environmental destruction and political and economic tyranny. An ovarian cancer survivor, the author also writes about her own courageous confrontation with death. These inspiring poems ultimately call for the reader to recognize the refugee condition as a human condition. They call for a change in consciousness in the forms of action and compassion. They call for the reader to thrive. Ranging from short lyric poems to narrative poems, this collection steeped in rich, sensual imagery draws inspiration and healing from the natural world. Truth lies in recognition of the interdependence of all life. \u003cem\u003eRefugee\u003c\/em\u003e is an odyssey to find grace and unity in a besieged and divided contemporary American society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pamela Uschuk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1636280196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636280196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Hen Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.91w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2023","brand":"Pamela Uschuk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43945180561663,"sku":"9781636280196","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_035dde62-104f-4a60-8180-982cb73566a6.jpg?v=1681507242","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refugee-pamela-uschuk-9781636280196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
