A beaten army, bleaching.Life bled into the earth already, and seeds awaiting, Stiff little spiked children wanting water. . . . \u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003eWelcome to the meticulously observed world of Frieda Hughes. It is a world of tangible materiality constantly on the brink of change, a world populated with foxes and fire, fathers and lovers, mothers and birdmen--a world that is ultimately combustible, fragile, fearsome, and elegiacally beautiful. Hughes maps the landscape, both within and without, in language possessed of an almost painterly sensitivity and a sublime mastery of craft. The self she depicts is one who is tested by loss, danger, betrayal, and abandonment, yet one who is transformed through experience into a world beyond nihilism and despair: a place that makes possible truth, strength of character, and the redemptive powers of love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Though a writer of unusual literary pedigree, Frieda Hughes is first and foremost an original voice, and \u003cem\u003eWooroloo\u003c\/em\u003e foretells what is certain to be an important body of work from this exquisite literary artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50234237845777,"sku":"CIN0060192712G","price":4.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51768989483281,"sku":"GOR005336111","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0060192712.jpg?v=1750972719","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/wooroloo-book-frieda-hughes-9780060192716","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
