In detail at once sensual and sophisticated, Apostolides unfurls the emotional experience of a love affair and unwanted pregnancy, the abortion itself, and her reconnection with the man seventeen years later--a rekindling of love which stimulates this gentle attempt to come to terms with the abortion and its consequences. Moving from a place of intense intimacy to an outward focus that engages with the broader world, \u003ci\u003eDeep Salt Water\u003c\/i\u003e discusses abortion in all its complexity, rejecting polarizing rhetoric in favour of the unfathomable truths that women hold in their bodies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith 9 full colour plates of mixed media collage by Catherine Mellinger. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eDeep Salt Water\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"...an intoxicating, accretive reading experience, shot through with recognizable truth and a clever use of the splice of precision and interruption to deliver them.\" --Anakana Schofield \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eDeep Salt Water\u003c\/i\u003e is intimate and sensual, tidal and saline--how can a book be tidal and saline? These words make sense within the environment of the book. Apostolides's language is not of pristine nature but of the anthropocene, our current geologic age of bleached coral and oceans choking on plastics. In light of man-made climate catastrophe, learning this language takes on added urgency.\" --Jade Colbert, \u003ci\u003eThe Globe \u0026amp; Mail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Book*hug Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771662789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Marianne Apostolides","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43397734432949,"sku":"9781771662789","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_290a94dd-9690-40fc-b3e4-b6cbd2f472bb.jpg?v=1702393479","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/deep-salt-water-9781771662789","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
