{"product_id":"9780295742458","title":"Where Outside the Body Is the Soul Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhere Outside the Body Is the Soul Today comprises two interwoven series one of linked prose poems called  Another Letter to the Soul  and one of individual lined poems that explore the connection between anima and animal. The volume speaks to and questions the ancient concept of the soul and its contemporary manifestations, including the damaged soul, the American soul, and the blind, gagged soul of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMelissa Kwasny does not define the soul in traditional religious terms, but in a shamanic, perhaps ecological sense, as the part of being that continues its existence after death. The poems in  Another Letter to the Soul  point inward, addressing the human soul directly, while the individual lined poems search outward, sensing the soul in the plants, animals, rocks, waters, and winds that surround us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Washington Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116096635120,"sku":"9780295742458","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780295742458_p0.jpg?v=1763682957","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780295742458","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
