And as children become adults and their parents move inexorably towards decline     and death, the complexity only deepens even as a primordial simplicity reemerges. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e     While the reflections in these poems are of course personal, they touch on things universal. Many besides me have struggled with ambivalence towards their     parents, and all of us, unless the natural order is reversed, have to live through the fiery crucible of our parents’ dying. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e     Come learn of the man from whom I learned stability, integrity, roots; come learn of the woman who opened me to beauty, empathy, wings. Ponder in the     process whence might have come your own grounding and soaring. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuthorHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157391229168,"sku":"9781477266793","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477266793_p0.jpg?v=1763613721","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477266793","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
