{"product_id":"the-snows-wife-9781933880815","title":"The Snow's Wife","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Snow's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e presents a dispassionate examination of the final months of a marriage, ending with a spouse's death. It examines the daily minutiae of caregiving, both the tender and the distasteful, that lend startling poignancy to unbearable hardship. Frannie Lindsay's poems chronicle how these challenges shock both self and God, dismantling that spiritual partnership and creating a new one that seems at first a temporary refuge, but is later revealed to be sturdy and permanent. This collection explores the ways in which intimacy becomes at once tender and gritty in the face of loss. These poems investigate how we remember, and how we begin the patient reshaping of the bereft self. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Snow's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e reaches beyond the sorrow of the poems' speaker and includes the reader in the difficult, loving acceptance of mortality. Unafraid to look beyond the sentimentality of grief, Lindsay draws an unflinching and intimate portrait of a conflicted yet tender relationship. Illustrating the strain that an expected death can place upon a marriage, and the myriad and surprising ways in which such strain expands the heart, \u003ci\u003eThe Snow's Wife\u003c\/i\u003e examines the crises of faith that arise naturally during intimate end-of-life caregiving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CavanKerry Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933880815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Frannie Lindsay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36670948638876,"sku":"9781933880815","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f1268305-c3a3-4a54-99cd-175a80311ef7.jpg?v=1603924047","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-snows-wife-9781933880815","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
