Recalling an early suicide attempt, a grandmother's gift of violets, visiting a famous poet's grave, and mourning the loss of a heron, the speaker of these poems wonders why: \"I love life\/but sit with bones.\" Throughout the collection the speaker as well as the multi-faceted characters of others such as Ophelia, Camille Claudel, and Anne Sexton, court despair, transcendence, and the hope of survival through poems both tough and tender. Doll is a meditation on despair and the resilience of the \"indestructible\" heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lily Poetry Review","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45127682752663,"sku":"9781733768368","price":816.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781733768368.webp?v=1767903774","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/doll-9781733768368","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
