These poems are emotionally raw and introspective, exploring the profound capaciousness of grief. Grotz carefully and deftly carries the weight of losses and their aftermaths--the deaths of the poet's mentors, friends, and mother; the endings of relationships; and the enclosures of a life spent in attendance to the world in a state of wanting rather than truly living. Here also are poems that movingly and crucially decide what dedicating one's life to poetry might require. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut in the wake of painful loss, Grotz writes toward \"this world, the living.\" Her poems reveal and meditate on the paradoxical relationship between the literal and the figurative, at the heart of poetry itself, like the darkness and light of Caravaggio's chiaroscuro. \u003ci\u003eStill Falling\u003c\/i\u003e is a book to be read slowly, calling readers back into the stillness of being, finding hope, \"not death \/ where darkness and silence and dust are \/ only darkness and silence and dust.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Grotz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1644452316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644452318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.11w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2023 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/17\/2023","brand":"Jennifer Grotz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077728203007,"sku":"9781644452318","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_478de8a3-7b4e-40d3-b833-3a59f6d96684.jpg?v=1685471466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/still-falling-jennifer-grotz-9781644452318","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
