Now, in her fourth and most accomplished collection, Jeffers turns to the task of seeking and reconciling the blues and its three movements--identification, exploration, and resolution--with wisdom. Poems in The Glory Gets ask, \"What happens on the road to wisdom? What now in this bewildering place?\" Using the metaphor of \"gets\"--the concessional returns of living--Jeffers travels this fraught yet exhilarating journey, employing unexpected improvisations while navigating womanhood. The spirit and spirituality of her muse, the late poet Lucille Clifton, guide the poet through the treacherous territories other women have encountered and survived yet kept secret from their daughters. An online reader's companion will be available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Honor馥 Fanonne Jeffers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0819575429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780819575425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wesleyan University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2015 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/27\/2015","brand":"Honor馥 Fanonne Jeffers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43990401614079,"sku":"9780819575425","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8f69361e-840b-4e4a-96ca-055ee3a70272.jpg?v=1683304467","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-glory-gets-honore-fanonne-jeffers-9780819575425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
