The four-part collection paints life's mercurial seasons, with underlying redemptive threads. The poetic vignettes serve as a keen act of observance and remembrance, beholding Life, the life to come, and the life all around through the miracle of a broken step, a new cross-section of mercy, the life in another's dance, the overlooked beheld, the wondrous done in secret, the life amid loss, the land resown, and the promised home glorified.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46332904964247,"sku":"9798385255214","price":909.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798385255214.webp?v=1768668086","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/still-life-poetic-vignettes-9798385255214","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
