In 2017, Kerry Greer's husband Gabriel ended his life with horrific violence, dying on the kitchen floor of his parents' home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaunting in its honesty, and underpinned by a connection to the spirituality of the natural world, \u003cem\u003eThe Sea Chest\u003c\/em\u003e traces the impact of Gabriel's death over years and continents. The collection provides a counter-narrative to ideas of grief portrayed in sympathy cards or Hollywood movies. There is no redemptive narrative arc, no going \"back to normal.\" But there is the old love-the indissoluble thread that is now called grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImagistic and probing, \u003cem\u003e The Sea Chest\u003c\/em\u003e speaks directly into the void. In the stillness, in the grey: a ripple, an answer from the ether, asking the reader to listen, to not turn away. \u003cem\u003eThe Sea Chest\u003c\/em\u003e becomes a holding space for grief-for the things which cannot be said out loud, but which need to be voiced. This is poetry as invocation, poetry as love enacted, poetry as gateway to the liminal and the sacred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47352502550777,"sku":"9780645651331","price":14.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/oa3SkKx8D-9780645651331.webp?v=1769810977","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-sea-chest-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
