false 3781196 1 Heather Derr-Smith's second collection journeys to the rough core of desire, creating and destroying binaries along the way. Familiar artifacts of domesticity become as volatile as land mines, and the streets of Damascus, Calcutta, and other faraway locales obliterate the American landscape. Yet Derr-Smith's poetry transcends time and place, illuminating the ties that bind man to woman, mother to child. A young son's purposeful breaking of a bowl hurls the speaker back to the unconnected shards of her past. An everyday scene outside an elementary school expands into a soulful meditation on the nature of violence and grief. The Bride Minaret is a relentless chronicle of experience, where the sacred and profane become interchangeable, where Every tent has a name, and every name is the breath of you. 3825286 25 8 2008 The Bride Minaret total:5|5:4|4:1| 5 24 9 2 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 5 1 false Fri Oct 03 07:03:15 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 03 07:06:25 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 0 0 false Tue Sep 15 10:57:09 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 15 10:57:09 -0700 2009 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 0 0 false Tue Aug 04 17:09:04 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 17:09:32 -0700 2009 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 4 0 false Sun Mar 29 07:07:46 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 07:08:17 -0700 2009 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 5 0 false Wed Jan 14 20:04:44 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 20:04:56 -0800 2009 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 0 0 false Mon Dec 08 14:34:52 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 14:35:07 -0800 2008 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 0 0 false Mon Nov 17 11:40:40 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 17 11:40:40 -0800 2008 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 5 0 false Fri Nov 07 18:26:34 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 18:26:34 -0800 2008 3781196 1931968578 9781931968577 5 2 4.80 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3781196.The_Bride_Minaret 5 0 false Sun Dec 14 09:39:04 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 02 17:08:55 -0800 2008 Sun Dec 14 09:39:04 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3781196
