These profoundly beautiful poems broach the place that\u003cbr\u003e Emily Dickinson called 'internal difference, \/ Where the meanings, are.' Honesty is a difficult art; you will feel its powers grieve and restore you, over and over.\"\u003cbr\u003e Nancy Eimers, author of Oz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"The Slow Subtraction is a stunning, heartbreaking collection made more poignant for Powell's trenchant eye on the devastations caused by A.L.S on his late wife, the poet Judith Kleck. This chronology of subtractions to 'the\u003cbr\u003e staircase \/ of her brain, ' and the ravages of a body's gradual dying, create a luminous elegy. The 'opulence in the skin's sweet torment' might feel like 'all the back doors opened into coffins of alley light, ' but there is grace\u003cbr\u003e here, enlarging 'the sway of events, \/the way pettiness is candleflicker against the passing night.'\"\u003cbr\u003e Adrianne Kalfopoulou, author of The History of Too Much\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 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53025370308915,"sku":"9781936657483","price":24.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hr0XcfDSSu9781936657483.webp?v=1770232223","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-slow-subtraction-a-l-s-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
