Noticing its details, the snowflakes, clementines, the lilies, the cardinal’s call, is the key for this momentary stay against time that comes at us in a rush.\n\nThe many mirror images in these poems point to the complexity and hard, loving work of really living in the world. And now, in the deep mid-winter, deep in the enforced slowdown of this pandemic, we need these poems to help us know what to do with the past and how to live and how to love.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487711215852,"sku":"9780887486784","price":18.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/44ff5a4dfe7a5f5e6f469d70ac2512a0.jpg?v=1775770208","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/this-long-winter-by-joyce-sutphen-9780887486784","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
