Quinn travels back in time and memory, revisiting the seafaring legacy of his father and grandfather and unearthing painful memories along the way. Quinn’s compelling, unflinching narrative poems are leavened with grace as he shines a light on these memories and, in later poems, celebrates the healing power of love and what it means to be a son, father, husband, and friend. Quinn explores poignant and cathartic events that seize the mind and test the truth while admitting frailty and courage, often at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Tender and attentive,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003ea thread I didn’t know I was hanging by\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis devoted to the profound significance of memory and the passing moments, both virtuous nand merciless, each in its way essential to the knowing of the self.” —Rikki Ducornet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118191796247,"sku":"9798991740098","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/1777391711-900.jpg?v=1778363266","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/quinn-peter-g-a-thread-ipb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
