Some of the poems go back 40 years, from courtship to becoming a wife, stepmother and mother. Others evolved from her Hospice social work with dying patients as well as her work with military veterans. Mostly, they are reflections on the everyday, ordinary events of life, in a way that gives them greater meaning. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Reading Kate Dahlstadt's poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eLessons From the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, resembles a secret glimpse into the room where Penelope wove the tapestry that saved her life. In these poems are revealed the threads that created an alternately beautiful and painful pattern in the poet's life: love, motherhood, time, war, loss, mourning, nature, the divine. No wonder one of the ancient symbols for soul is thread.\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003e Phil Cousineau, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Pilgrimage\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Museum: New Poems\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8.5 x 5.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 07, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54054592119091,"sku":"9781950186235","price":24.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/QDdIx737h69781950186235.webp?v=1789030263","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/lessons-from-the-garden-selected-poems-and-essays-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
