{"product_id":"coming-to-rest-poems-9780807131350","title":"Coming to Rest: Poems","description":"Kathryn Stripling Byer in these poems engages the contradictions inherent in the act of coming home. She explores the step-by-step leaving and returning-- and finding \"home\" transformed because of the journey. Seamless lines of poetry weave together experiences as a daughter and a mother, the challenges of aging, the innate dignity of domestic life, and learning to let go while holding fast to what matters all the while. Byer gathers the trivial things that make up our lives and shows their meaningful connections, our movement toward discovery. In \u003ci\u003eComing to Rest\u003c\/i\u003e, she expands upon the great themes of the poetic tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathryn Stripling Byer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.34w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807131350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathryn Stripling Byer has published four previous books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eCatching Light, \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of the Southeast Booksellers Association Award for Poetry.
