By the end, we feel we have been witness to a poet remaking herself.\u003cbr\u003eGonzalez's poetry depicts the fullness of living. There are the small moments: \"white wine greening in a glass,\" trumpet blossoms \"panicking across the garden.\" Some poems adopt the oracular quality of a parable but invariably refuse a clear moral. The poet moves through elegy, romantic and sexual encounters, family history, and place--Cyprus, Puerto Rico, Poland, Ohio--all constellated in \"a chaos of faraway.\" The collection is held together less by answers than by a persistent question: How doe you reconcile a hatred for the world's pain with a love for that same world, which is indivisible from its worst aspects? Gonzalez's poems draw us nearer to our own aliveness, its fragility and sustaining questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2024\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003ePages: 112\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781802067057\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1802067051\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elisa Gonzalez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50081411236106,"sku":"","price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781802067057.jpg?v=1728466151","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/grand-tour-poems","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
