The poems intertwine to explore grief from the loss of loved ones (a lover, a daughter and close friends), early memories of growing up in an immigrant foster home, later memories of working in a mental hospital, the poet's own recovery from addiction, the emotional and spiritual impact of a near death and life-changing accident with its lasting, crippling effects, and an acceptance of a life nearing its own chronological end. Although there is a darkness in these poems, they belie the empathy and subtle humor in the poems and the joy of finding love in later life after so much loss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bainbridge Island Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775225381015,"sku":"9781961451155","price":1383.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781961451155.webp?v=1777989075","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/muscle-memories-of-love-and-disaster-9781961451155","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
