S. Piero)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her fifth book of poems, \u003ci\u003eStairway to Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e, Alison Hawthorne Deming explores dimensions of grief and renewal after losing her brother and mother. Grounded in her communion with nature and place, she finds even in Death Valley, that most stark of landscapes, a spirit of inventiveness that animates the ground we walk on. From the cave art of Chauvet to the futuristic habitat of Biosphere 2, that inventiveness becomes consolation for losses in family and nature, a means to build again a sense of self and world in the face of devastating loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom the Trade Paperback edition.\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119179776240,"sku":"9781101992128","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781101992128_p0.jpg?v=1763690196","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781101992128","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
