Connie Post's \u003cem\u003eAnd When the Sun Drops \u003c\/em\u003erelates the tale of one mother's experience of her son's autism. In \"By the Window,\" the speaker addresses her son about \"...the dawning of other worlds \/ of prisms that would take you from us \/ that would take language from you\". Post's poems are focused, direct and unyielding. Her language expresses strong sentiment, but never descends into sentimentality, allowing the reader to feel authentic emotions. I shed more than a few tears over these beautifully wrought, honest poems. This collection is for anyone who desires to, as Post puts it, \"...make an origami out of \/ any shape of loss \/ and make it somehow \/ feel like gratitude\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Lana Hechtman Ayers\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eA New Red, \u003c\/em\u003e Publisher of Concrete Wolf Poetry Chapbook Series\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn compellingly candid and essential language evoking emotion or exhibiting experience, Connie Post's poetry supplies necessary words describing the relationship with her autistic and speechless son, engaging readers who accompany them on their journey down \"the long curve of silence.\"\u003cstrong\u003e-Edward Byrne\u003c\/strong\u003e, Editor, \u003cem\u003eValparaiso Poetry Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 02, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353491849465,"sku":"9798888380567","price":23.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/qUqMLw70XM9798888380567.webp?v=1769824987","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/and-when-the-sun-drops-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
