Following a beloved friend through a long illness and eventual loss, these poems confront in stark emotion the aftermath, even as the outside world--the world of debts paid and collected, of power and dominion--intrudes. What is gained and what is sacrificed, and how can those profits and losses be measured when the currency involved is love?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555976415\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 6.59w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Lambda Literary Awards - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sophie Cabot Black","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45150623465653,"sku":"9781555976415","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_585fd3d5-ef97-454a-8636-83c6c63e72fa.jpg?v=1741104559","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-exchange-9781555976415","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
