These poems, characterized by a mix of free and formal verse, depict quiet days at home or in nature, as well as close calls and brushes with death: chronic illness, a house fire, a car crushed by a boulder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn this way, these poems amplify the fragility of the commonplace, a mystery from which we are, amid the noise of our everyday lives, sometimes estranged. Through this exploration, Sanders constructs a precarious balance between alienation and acceptance, striking a note at once recognizable and new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"David Sanders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43573188001974,"sku":"9780804041188","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780804041188_79d7f583-54c9-424a-82fc-358759cbd895.jpg?v=1727083513","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/bread-of-the-moment-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
