In the wake of physical and personal transformation, the seemingly reliable constant of the outside world is transformed by the global pandemic. Between these two antagonizing poles of personal health and a world shut off by lockdown, motherhood becomes a source of constant discovery and uncompromising love. As Mannix looks back at moments within her own childhood and teenage years, the realms of fantasy and imagination spill over into experiences of the present, from alternative takes on the land of Oz to a lament for the small, human connections that may be forgotten in the wake of future environmental collapse. Throughout this collection, Mannix's voice remains intimate, personable, and raw. With its startling and precise images never overpowering her need to speak with clarity and trust for her reader, these poems are testament to the stabilizing powers of love, empathy, and imagination in the face of uncompromising and unpredictable circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 210 x 148 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781905233830\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aoife Mannix","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45965790904570,"sku":"9781905233830","price":7.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/noimage_e5512381-d8e9-44dc-a327-41b5a1e4af42.png?v=1715789753","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reconstruction-9781905233830","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
