The poems in the collection were written over the course of more than 20 years, and touch on parentage, friendship, trauma, work, pregnancy and motherhood, the pandemic, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe things that shape us, driving us down different paths, influencing who we are and what we think, defining our choices and personalities, may be large and obvious, but are often exceedingly small, even invisible or unfathomable. What we can recall of our respective personal histories is minute and constantly diminishing - single words or phrases, the smell of a particular location, an incidence of weather. Even when we believe we remember or understand such things well, import may not be apparent until long after the fact, if ever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten in a conversational, modern poetic style, \u003ci\u003eLandmarks \u0026amp; Beacons\u003c\/i\u003e is a look at relatable, real-life personal transformation. It is an average person's attempt to excavate, understand, take meaning from, and ultimately release the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jen Selk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798398201949\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41068456378483,"sku":"9.7984E+12","price":14.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_7987e074-9190-4037-b434-261ca98ef1d2.jpg?v=1699018916","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/landmarks-and-beacons-poems-9798398201949","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
