The result is a striking meditation on human fragility and the sustaining power of art, even as life--and the world around us--can be made and unmade in an instant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving between tenderness, fierceness, and wry humor, these poems mourn a beloved friend, witness the pandemic, and reflect on the politicization of women's bodies. Browne delights in a snarky daughter scrolling TikTok, a ghost wearing her best red boots, and the music of Violetta's aria in \u003ci\u003eLa Traviata\u003c\/i\u003e. Drawing on nature, memory, and human connection, she explores oceans, bones, motherhood, and time itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultivocal, incantatory, and precise, her work asks what it means to live with loss while remaining open to the world, finding solace in the everyday--\"sky blue \/ Mustang paused on the shoulder.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BOA Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781968507213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 91","brand":"Jenny Browne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52933866619061,"sku":"9781968507213","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/i-am-trying-to-love-the-whole-world-9781968507213","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
