With his consciousness sharpened and expanded by his longtime practice as a psychotherapist, he boldly but tenderly examines the dire challenges of living through this moment in time, packing insight after insight into a tonally diverse collection of forty-four sonnets. His subjects range from the mundane to the catastrophic, encompassing domestic life in long term marriage, to climate change, to meditations on grief and loss, to, in the books final section, personal retellings of the Psalmist's longing for, and arguments with, God.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eKate Daniels\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Vanderbilt University, author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn the Months of My Son's Recovery\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlow Fuse of the Possible: A Memoir of Poetry and Psychoanalysis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67850116563251,"sku":"9781639808106","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/wpxDYJ3lfg9781639808106.webp?v=1793505678","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/tehachapi-pass-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
