The allure of stone is matched by a persistent reflection on the nature of skin, and 'what skin remembers'.\u003cbr\u003e The bodies of parents - dead or dying - come into view as the book navigates between the poet's native Cork and Paris. Ghosts are summoned in both cities, in poems that explore the porousness of the divide between the past and the present, the living and the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Noonan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910251518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910251515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedalus Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.38d","brand":"Mary Noonan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445853892863,"sku":"9781910251515","price":23.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c90ce902-6399-4884-a04f-72c7a7970450.jpg?v=1777221077","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stone-girl-mary-noonan-9781910251515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
