The four-part collection paints life's mercurial seasons, with underlying redemptive threads. The poetic vignettes serve as a keen act of observance and remembrance, beholding Life, the life to come, and the life all around through the miracle of a broken step, a new cross-section of mercy, the life in another's dance, the overlooked beheld, the wondrous done in secret, the life amid loss, the land resown, and the promised home glorified.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMegan Huwa is a poet, author, and former higher education editor and instructor. A rare health condition keeps her and her husband from living near her family's fifth-generation Colorado farm, so her writing reaches for home, both temporal and eternal, and beholds life amidst suffering. She holds a BA in English from Colorado State University and an MA in English from the University of Northern Colorado.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 98\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354294108409,"sku":"9798385255214","price":14.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/g_SxsGt-mu9798385255214_e11933e4-e988-4967-a4c7-f6840f8340b9.webp?v=1769833545","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/still-life-poetic-vignettes-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
