{"product_id":"you-are-not-lost-jeri-frederickson-9781646625772","title":"You Are Not Lost","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou Are Not Lost peels the soft and hopeful places of young life while expertly making applesauce. Jeri Frederickson uses the familiar scaffolding of a sonnet crown and everyday objects as a channel to nurture love and access beauty while questioning the experiences that hold us together. After life's questions receive unfulfilling answers: \"press it down\" and \"Your future life \/ is free. No refunds\" the poems untangle first-loves, family, and climate change by looking inward, turning the questions over and over as the speaker used to do apples: \"Tonight are you the crunching sound? \/ Are you my friend? I'm not ready to miss you.\" Jim Daniels, author of Gun\/Shy, says of these poems \"surprise and sustain, keeping us delightfully off-balance with their sharp wit and surprising vulnerability.\" Even as trauma stitches through experiences, the collection refuses contemporary trauma labelling as adequate. \"I have set my childhood nightmares \/ a place to rest their leather heads.\" Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo, author of Posada: Offerings of Witness and Refuge, says \"the strength of her poetic voice is a reminder to all who read that within the roots of ancestral wounds, there is space for growth.\" The speaker in the poems realizes she can't banish trauma or force a resilient narrative. Instead, laughter and hope hold hands with trauma and walk together with the reader, finding their way into the future, not lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeri Frederickson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646625773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646625772\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.11d","brand":"Jeri Frederickson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993335038207,"sku":"9781646625772","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38928ff7-7ae6-4755-b67e-64281b4b4bba.jpg?v=1683323810","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-are-not-lost-jeri-frederickson-9781646625772","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
