But how does a woman survive? One's own healthy body helps, but illness is one of the masters of this book. Faith can be a salve for the inscrutable ailments of the body, but God is unreliable in these poems. The female bodies of \u003cem\u003eMaster Suffering\u003c\/em\u003e want power; power to control and to correct the suffering they both witness and withstand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e CM Burroughs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tupelo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.16d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946482389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e National Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBurroughs, CM:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - CM Burroughs is Associate Professor of Poetry at Columbia College Chicago; she is the author of two collections of poetry: The Vital System (Tupelo Press, 2012) and Master Suffering (Tupelo Press, 2021).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tupelo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39829077655667,"sku":"9781946482389","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2a43521b-a750-4192-97a2-14f3ac97051c.jpg?v=1644607885","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/master-suffering-poems-9781946482389","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
