And, therefore, about relationships. It is a collection you will want to stay with for awhile, dipping in and out as time and fancy permit, \" because there is a pause before arriving-\" or finishing. \"before finding a pattern.\" A collection you will want to return to, time and again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Joan Hawkins, \u003cem\u003eSchool and Suicide, The Burroughs Hour\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Brenda Linkeman's \u003cem\u003eLoose Ends \u003c\/em\u003eis like stepping into a Monet painting where colors become concepts and every line is filled with light. With a style best described as \"ancient master,\" each poem is a meditation on an emotion, stripped down to its essence. Her poems, such as \"Walking Into Water,\" \"Unspoken,\" and \"Sand Timer,\" are filled with bare-bone wisdom that gently guide the reader to places of healing and peace.Brenda's poems are part Taoist verse, part Buddhist Koan, and all masterfully written. \u003cem\u003eLoose Ends\u003c\/em\u003e is the book I didn't realize I needed and, much like a beautiful painting, I'll return to again and again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Chris Dean Author, Co-Founder of Keeping The Flame Alive Press; Indiana Beat Poet Laureate (2025-2027)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 14, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46597941788869,"sku":"9798899750250","price":26.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/v3-fdq9itY9798899750250_d8ac9e1e-8457-4c6d-8ad3-81c4e18ea007.webp?v=1785146633","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/loose-ends-paperback-3","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
