The poems also explore the darker aspects of humanity--personal, cultural, historical and environmental violence--all of which are handled with compassion and grace. Bass's poetic gift is her ability to commiserate with others afflicted by similar hungers and grief. Her poem \"Insomnia\" concludes: \"may something\/ comfort you--a mockingbird, a breeze, rain\/ on the roof, Chopin's Nocturnes, the thought\/ of your child's birth, a kiss,\/ or even me--in my chilly kitchen\/ with my coat on--thinking of you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51866186055968,"sku":"NEW1929918224","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71M9XfoSKOL.jpg?v=1781673526","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/mules-of-love-american-poets-continuum-1929918224","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
