With landscapes and intimacy, these poems capture what it means to connect by digging in the soil, feeding another, and holding. Through devotions, pastorals, and still lifes, \u003ci\u003eThe Weight of Drought\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the duality of beauty and ugliness, love and violence to explore what it means to be whole. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"27th Letter Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44142679293997,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3588\/0749\/files\/original_ac7dde97-f0f0-4915-bd6e-0ae38957fa3b.jpg?v=1763372760","url":"https:\/\/27thletterbooks.com\/products\/weight-of-drought","provider":"27th Letter Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
