Produktbeschreibung
These poems have a visual richness, narrative depth, and lyric beauty that invites the reader into their world. At the center of it is a young woman trying to find the words to tell the stories of a life and make sense of the way we all struggle to cope with life's burdens and recognize life's beauty. This is the second edition of Sink's first volume of poetry. In it she observes characters who are trying, through flawed families and communities, to make sense of life's struggles.

A wound that makes it difficult to embrace life in the world outside the church as well.Poe
