After weeks of loneliness and despair, he begins to explore his wife's pottery studio in the wild hills of Northern California, teaching himself to mix clay, throw a pot, fire a kiln, trim and glaze. Just as his grief is ebbing and his future in clay is looking bright, a wildfire advances upon his studio and threatens to destroy everything he has created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCracked Pot is a singular book: a story of love lost and the labyrinthine path through grief; a meditation on the craft of pottery and its power to inspire and restore; a rumination on the life of a writer and the refuge of words; an examination of how generational family trauma can shape an artist. Montague's haunting memoir is a kaleidoscopic and redemptive reading experience, one that serves to remind its readers about the cracks and the light. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Cracked Pot is a soul-baring memoir of love, creativity, loss, grief, and creativity again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e --Benjamin Dreyer, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eDreyer's English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Latah Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957607092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.57d","brand":"Vince Montague","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42573345783989,"sku":"9781957607092","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e084dca1-9568-49c6-b426-777d0874a3d6.jpg?v=1672156862","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cracked-pot-9781957607092","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
