Overview"A Wake for Josephine unfolds with all the suspense of a mystery novel, the drama of a detective film. Poem by poem, character by character, the reader pieces together clues to a murder: when the victim went missing, who she left behind, what she left behind ... This book's parts all are poems, but the whole is a story that answers Josephine's own question, ""Is it too late to die of old age?"" - H. L. Hix, author of Shadow of Houses and As Much As, If Not More What most impressed me about A Wake for Josephine is how Robbins uses dialog exchanges at the college where Josephine was an adjunct to show how little she was valued as ""just an adjunct,"" the dehumanization inherent in defining someone by her role. However, ""Adjuncts"" is more than just entertaining snark about the nature of college English departments. This section raises the questions that are at the heart of the book. Who are we? To ourselves, to each other, to our communities? Do our lives matter? Have we left our mark on the world? Will anyone notice our absence?"" - Elizabeth Gauffreau, author of Telling Sonny" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Paul Gilliland , Kenneth RobbinsPublisher: Southern Arizona Press Imprint: Southern Arizona Press Dimensions: Width: 15.20cm , Height: 0.70cm , Length: 22.90cm Weight: 0.181kg ISBN: 9781960038555ISBN 10: 1960038559 Pages: 128 Publication Date: 24 June 2024 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
