Through the supple medium of poetry, Hirschl provides a revealing and nuanced rendering of her life experiences beginning in Croatia during the World War Two and Communist Yugoslavia, followed by immigrating to the United States with her husband; they settled in New York State where they raised a family, and later in the San Francisco Bay Area where she currently lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet brings to life multiple layers of time and place sharing with the reader her close relationship with her family and community, her fascination with art and history inspired and informed by extensive travel and a strong interest in languages. More than a memoir, the book is a valuable historical document with personal insights and wisdom -- a testament to the experience of loss, longing, and survival in her own words -- showing us the richness and power that poetry alone can provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI shall bounce again\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon dry land\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand draw\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe strength\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efrom simplicity of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea wild trillium\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 18, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47581959684317,"sku":"9781734274219","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/9dt_vYghdl9781734274219.webp?v=1773566652","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/how-memories-insist-poems-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
