ISBN: 9781555971564.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTess Gallagher, one of Americas most accomplished poets, presents Moon Crossing Bridge, her sixth book, a descent into the world of the dead, a remembrance of her recently deceased beloved, whose presence and absence are recalled in sombre lyrical rhythms and with a extraordinary range of expressions of love and sadness.\n\nDevoid of self-pity or illusion, yet full of dream and vision and wisdom, these beautifully intense and powerful poems bestow the gift of words to the widows silence, to the silence of all who are muted by grief and loss. With this unusual volume, arranged in six carefully paced movements to suggest the journey from death to recovery, Gallagher charges language with its utmost responsibilities: here poetry aspires deeply and urgently beyond its cultural marginality to embrace the paradox of sharing unshareable pain and to assume again an Orphic voice and a communal necessity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44784949493813,"sku":"ByrdShop_1555971563","price":32.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781555971564_2aa49d1f-a0a9-44f8-a205-d63a51282a60.jpg?v=1784474597","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/moon-crossing-bridge-9781555971564","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
