In the second half of the collection, the poet spends extended time with Bernini's sculpture of \u003ci\u003eSt. Teresa in Ecstasy in Rome\u003c\/i\u003e, finding this famous scene of wounding to be in dialogue with her own experience of pain, as well as her suspension between languages and spiritual isolation. In \u003ci\u003eThe Right Hand\u003c\/i\u003e, the hidden sites of the body speak, and Bernini's centuries-old arrow pierces us with hurting eloquence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christina Pugh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1961209136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961209138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tupelo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Christina Pugh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896360526079,"sku":"9781961209138","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f0dda8d2-70ae-4ff4-9700-9d8c0f2555e4.jpg?v=1721371191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-right-hand-christina-pugh-9781961209138","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
