Processing depression and the loss of her parents, she explores the therapeutic value of nature and poetry in \u003cem\u003eThe Tears of Things\u003c\/em\u003e. This collection charts her movement through changing relationships, landscapes, and gardens in the Midwest and Deep South. Seamus Heaney's interpretation of \u003cem\u003eThe Aeneid\u003c\/em\u003e's famous line \u003cem\u003esunt lacrimae rerum\u003c\/em\u003e-\"there are tears at the heart of things\"-underpins Hamrick's sensibility. Observing seasonal flourishes and decay reminds us that love, joy, longing, sorrow, and gratitude arise from life's imperfection and brevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 18, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52730635026739,"sku":"9781963695113","price":28.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/JvhWTe-UCS9781963695113.webp?v=1763837824","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-tears-of-things-poems-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
