With a voice both taut and tender, Murawski crafts poems alive with startling imagery and emotional precision: skies that \"toss back black balloons,\" purple crocuses that \"survive late snow to die,\" a little girl renamed over a carnival loudspeaker, claimed like a misplaced coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross four seamlessly linked sections, Murawski moves between the intimately personal and the imaginatively far-reaching, drawing on landscapes from Hiroshima to the Sangre de Cristo mountains, from kitchen floors polished to a shine to the dark terrain of grief and memory. Her speakers navigate a world held together by an \"invisible thread\" of faith-one that strains, frays, and sometimes breaks, yet continues to bind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriting with the sculpted intensity of Emily Dickinson and the intellectual clarity of Anne Carson, Murawski invites readers to sit inside the questions her poems ask: How do we hold what we cannot keep? How do we live beside our ghosts? What do we name ourselves when the old names fail?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlias Irene\u003c\/em\u003e is a luminous, aching, and deeply human collection-an offering of grace in a world that often feels unsteady. These are poems that honor the fragile, resilient heart that keeps returning, again and again, to its longing for wholeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.26 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 06, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354262323449,"sku":"9781594981920","price":21.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/D6-tgyDO_A9781594981920.webp?v=1769833383","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/alias-irene-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
