Deftly crafting distinct voices for these characters in the upper midwestern terrain they inhabit, Iwen explores the quiet heartbreak and tenderly treasured experiences of two apparently unremarkable people using poetry to understand a world that doesn't make much space for them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arkansas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682261323\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Jayson Iwen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378724831413,"sku":"9781682261323","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a6985ee7-8665-444e-8997-84cf358ce0d1.jpg?v=1753159606","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/roze-blud-a-poem-9781682261323","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
