Krueger's \u003ci\u003eTalisman\u003c\/i\u003e interrogate the everyday expression of complex human\u003cbr\u003eemotions. In psychological portraits stunning in their precision, Krueger\u003cbr\u003ebrings her observational powers to bear on the domestic and its\u003cbr\u003edarknesses--childbirth, play, sex, and family picnics, as well as abuse, \u003cbr\u003edisability, adultery, and mental illness. We see how intimacy is laced with\u003cbr\u003euncertainty, how the bonds between us can be a form of bondage. Life's long arc\u003cbr\u003eis considered, from the early developmental stages of attachment and\u003cbr\u003eindividuation to the existential dramas of purpose and meaning in middle and\u003cbr\u003eold age. What emerges is a study in the mystery of survival, in how we move beyond\u003cbr\u003ethe broken places in ourselves. These poems magnify small, everyday redemptions\u003cbr\u003eas signs--talismans--of human potential, and ask us to think about our choices, \u003cbr\u003eto use language as a force to press against truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 8.78 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353743802617,"sku":"9781597092715","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/wQJCIlhdF-9781597092715_22999385-799d-4c66-8022-ef53416d2e7a.webp?v=1769828460","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/talisman-hardcover-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
