Finally, the collection lights on the incongruities and contradictions in death: \"still later I kick his flattened corpse \/ to the gutter, and it skids on concrete \/ a broken valise, weightless \/ on this segment of the journey.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith his characteristic humour, subtlety and ability to find transcendence in the everyday, Zieroth traces the delicate strands connecting the most minute and familiar details to the most profound mysteries, giving voice to the unknowable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Zieroth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550178350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550178357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harbour Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.23h x 7.73w x 0.21d","brand":"David Zieroth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48459529650431,"sku":"9781550178357","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c8aa180-0e1c-4d3e-9eec-080e47468a69.jpg?v=1777410252","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-bridge-from-day-to-david-zieroth-9781550178357","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
