These poems ask us to consider the gifts left by dear ones who drop into--and sometimes back out of--our lives; how the love we have to give the world is in many ways a patchwork of the love we have received. Like offering a pulled thread from one end while weaving new fabric on the other, this work is both an unravelling and a becoming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMarie Metaphor Specht\u003c\/strong\u003e explores the double-edged gift that is caregiving through the lens of queer motherhood, intimacy, and our complex relationship with the natural world. In a world that gives us much to worry about, these poems ask us to reframe our worry as a transmutation of love. In a world that asks us to be stronger every day, this book finds unexpected strength in softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Metaphor Specht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1778162614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781778162619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Write Bloody North\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Marie Metaphor Specht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519358382335,"sku":"9781778162619","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13eb1a0e-0c68-42cc-b916-97e4dd0e6540.jpg?v=1778737331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soft-shelters-marie-metaphor-specht-9781778162619","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
