{"product_id":"swimming-with-shadows-ethna-mckiernan-9781912561445","title":"Swimming with Shadows","description":"McKiernan's fourth collection returns to her earlier themes of loss --of her youngest son, of her father, and of the pervasive losses of the homeless population with whom she works. This new collection also addresses political wounds of a bygone America--the bombings of schoolgirls in Alabama the 1960's and the racially charged beating of Rodney King in the 1990's-as it presents poems that address the conflicts of today. Interspersed are poems of love, praise and joy. Ethna McKiernan has been twice awarded a Minnesota State Arts Board grant in poetry. She holds an MFA from Warren Wilson Program for Writers. In an earlier life, she was CEO of Irish Books and Media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ethna McKiernan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912561441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912561445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Salmon Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Ethna McKiernan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519617773823,"sku":"9781912561445","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0b56b98-6dec-429c-b635-85e074406776.jpg?v=1778737856","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/swimming-with-shadows-ethna-mckiernan-9781912561445","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
