MIRACULOUS is undoubtedly a hybrid work, but always firmly grounded in poetics. Conceptually, the narration echoes the effects of trauma: sometimes the writing unfolds in long prose poems, while at other times, a single fragment may appear alone on the page. Occasionally, multiple commas splice the language, as fear interrupts the flow of speech. Structurally, these devices are united through a series of repeated images that function as through-lines, weaving the narrative's various threads. For instance, birds frequently appear, the symbol, according to the ancient Greeks, of life continued, and a notion the narrator clings to: birds don't die \/ only pass into the bodies of other birds. Like the faded balloon string the narrator finds on the street, the arrival of a bird bears a message that she needs--and needs enough to note--creating order within a landscape of grief, a system of meaning where life would otherwise be too frail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Meg Shevenock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1733602038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733602037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Conduit Books \u0026amp; Ephemera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/16\/2020","brand":"Meg Shevenock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485981585663,"sku":"9781733602037","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d7a67a9-e822-4580-bf82-e2a21810b4e8.jpg?v=1778052875","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-miraculous-sometimes-meg-shevenock-9781733602037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
