Her poems move seamlessly between the worlds of the living and the dead, between myth and reality in a journey that raises its own Homeric question: What is home and how do we locate our place within that home? These are poems of passion and compassion in their reconciliation with what cannot be changed--but can be understood--by those who have been left behind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40817275469847,"sku":"9781945588389","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/view_archive_ed0969b8-d019-49e6-b7af-4eddb363dc04.jpg?v=1703283367","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/phillips-maya-erou","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
