Certain movies provide an almost religious resolution to questions and experiences. \"I don't blame the children for anything,\" Howe writes in one poem. \"Their century is like a director who prefers his script to his actors.\" With startling revelation and lyrical power, \u003ci\u003eCome and See \u003c\/i\u003eurges us to observe the world anew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555975869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.27w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2011 pg. 11\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 104\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Fanny Howe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52107784061109,"sku":"9781555975869","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_89247be5-8f69-4d3e-8f92-2aa747643a44.jpg?v=1765862321","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/come-and-see-9781555975869","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
