Merritt's work radiates empathy and compassion. Her poems feature troubled (and troublesome) students, homeless people, mothers and wives, individuals of all kinds in moments of panic or confusion. Deeply human and humane, these poems provide a glimmer of hope in a world buffeted with disheartening news.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDonna Marie shines her poetic light on social ills, white privilege, and the disadvantaged, but her accessible and direct language uncovers the heart and dreams of her subjects, offering up the possibility of a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beech Hill Publishing Company, Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47013980733680,"sku":"9780990820062","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780990820062_p0.jpg?v=1763896325","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780990820062","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
