The poets greatest strength is her acute sense of observation. She possesses the ability to thread sensuousness into the fabric of everyday life. . .This is a dazzling volume of poetry that delights in crisp imagery and tender recollections.-Kirkus ReviewsEric Hoffer\/Montaigne Medal FinalistEric Hoffer\/da Vinci Eye FinalistEric Hoffer Book Award Honorable MentionThe quest to discover why this poet does not complete a dissertation, leads to an astonishing read. This collection reveals a wide range of life-changing experiences beginning with a marriage to a hunchback Moroccan, almost twice the writer's age. Other poems express revelations and observations that arise out of travels, such as a trip to Tehran, where the poet stands on a bullet-riddled balcony watching a hurried crowd \"spill Khomeini from his coffin.\" The signature poem unveils a suddenly busy domestic life in a second marriage with three young children and puppies. Toward the end readers experience love which results in marriage with a same-sex partner. No matter one's personal story, what makes a story great is how it is told.-The US Review of Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68213298921760,"sku":"USED1733534512","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Q9Awrre4L_749122b8-468a-4b1b-9574-7ed953db0d7e.jpg?v=1794275211","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/why-i-never-finished-my-dissertation-1733534512-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
