Our place in and passages through the natural world reflect both the questions of childhood and those few wisdoms we hope to share as adults. Always, the speaker of these poems (\"closer to the end\/than to birth, dreaming of death\" she says) recalls a boy's question: \"How does light climb the tree?\" In these elegant poems of daily mortal passage, Joan Baranow is also asking, in every line, how might we, each of us, slowly climb that light? These are poems of constancy and moral courage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--David St. John, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Last Troubadour: Selected and New Poems\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Poetic Matrix Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781733702508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Joan Baranow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52122251690165,"sku":"9781733702508","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_60b345cd-3442-4489-b41b-3d063de11fe3.jpg?v=1766512248","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/in-the-next-life-9781733702508","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
