By happenstance and default, major events disrupted the seasons, paradoxically, and found poignant shelter in Blanshard's poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCertain inhospitable exterior moments the poet has chosen, become deeply human in context: melting ice floes, personal loss, displacement, the continuing five year drought, destructive floods, catastrophic bush fires, and the first, and second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy chance or choice, she catches and listens to it. \u003cem\u003eQuieter Histories\u003c\/em\u003e is the inward grace. Here, acknowledgement of the human spirit is evident, not separable, from her writing. Histories find shelter in the shift between techniques. Susan brings a variety of past worlds to life by reversing and elaborating traditional stanzas and bringing soothsaying echoes of historic form to light. As with previous works, epic book-length prose of '\u003cem\u003eSheetstone', 'Honey In The Blood, ' \u003c\/em\u003eand the poetry of \u003cem\u003eFragments of The Human Heart, \u003c\/em\u003eBlanshard\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003econnects epochs of time with subtlety, elegance, imagination, emotional attitude, and notable sensuality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuieter Histories is a continuum of the dialogue with past and present histories, what is inherited, possessed and dispossessed; what is remembered and what is known. A passionate conversation that exists at the center of her poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 166\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344497303859,"sku":"9781916228856","price":31.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/OS3WAwJXAs9781916228856.webp?v=1778725753","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/quieter-histories-poems-winter-to-winter-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
