These poems dwell in the dailiness of intimacy-its sensuality, its seasons, its ruptures and repairs-and find the sacred in small, soft gestures: extra butter at breakfast, a lover's gentle breath at night, the hush of early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDistinct yet relatable, May's debut collection takes shape as she falls in love with her wife, longs for motherhood, and falls in love again-with the man who might help make them mothers. With a voice that is grounded, tender, and quietly expansive, May invites us to witness what it means to stay present through uncertainty and to keep choosing one another.\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 Otterpine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781955671866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Lucille May","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197310038197,"sku":"9781955671866","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c07986d6-f868-467a-935d-837d96ef2389.jpg?v=1769623122","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/thank-the-sweet-waters-poems-9781955671866","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
