The poems of the first section of Irish poet Leeanne Quinn's debut collection explore the intimacies of a sibling relationship, and revisit it from a distance travelled since, where new experience is \"the earth's irreproachable \/ response to your absence\". Other poems intersperse this main narrative, inspired by a variety of subjects, from Gertrude Stein to the Drogheda-born artist Nano Reid, natural disasters to the complex territory of broken relationships. Pain is evoked, sensed never far from the surface, but the telling remains oblique, the particulars refusing a simple summary or conclusion. Life goes on, in what one of the poems in the second section calls \"this awful business of living\", a variant on a phrase by Elizabeth Bishop whose letters, in counterpoint to the book's first section, prompt and provide an external departure point and reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354247151865,"sku":"9781906614485","price":17.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Oy6Td71zqa9781906614485.webp?v=1769833307","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/before-you-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
