Like a moon or a wren, two of the book's obsessions, these haunting poems call us to consider beauty's connection to the transitory. Among the ghosts that wander these pages--those of loved ones, those we are, and those we will become--Knippen asks if image is enough, if sound is enough, if faith is enough. In doing so, these poems seek out the soul's communion with voice, encouraging us to sing our fate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Henry Knippen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1936970708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781936970704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Issues Poetry and Prose\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.80w x 0.30d","brand":"James Henry Knippen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044970852607,"sku":"9781936970704","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e63d459c-515b-4221-aa89-e0f181f0eaa2.jpg?v=1684975978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/would-we-still-be-james-henry-knippen-9781936970704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
