{"product_id":"letters-to-minnehaha-creek-9781950730438","title":"Letters to Minnehaha Creek","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLetters to Minnehaha Creek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is a poetry collection structured in four sections of poems through the passing seasons. In many of the poems, the narrator addresses Minnehaha Creek directly, reminiscing about her deceased friend, Dorothy, as she walks the same neighborhood routes they once traveled together. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tone of the poems reflects the seasons. Fall takes place in the aftermath of Dorothy's death and explores the narrator's longing for her friend. Winter highlights the narrator's sadness and acceptance that Dorothy is truly gone. Spring follows, with a lighter tone as the narrator embraces life after the loss of her friend. Summer offers a sense of renewal, with poems that are letters written from the creek, rather than to it. The titles reset to one again, almost as if the manuscript experiences a rebirth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe setting and symbolism portrayed in Letters to Minnehaha Creek complement the writing style. For example, the speaker says, \"A pair of mallards swim by \/ as I find my way up the stairs. \/\/ A female cardinal \/ in scalloped flight moves \/\/ across the sky alone, surprised \/ at times her partner is gone.\" These vivid images of scenery surrounding the narrator also reflect the speaker's emotional state. The symbolism of the pair of mallards and the female cardinal flying alone contrasts the speaker's loneliness with the companionship she once had.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLetters to Minnehaha Creek\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e will resonate with readers who have lost someone or lived with a loved one suffering from illness as it illustrates a vivid path towards healing and rebirth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12402482\"\u003eVictoria Lin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Unsolicited Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950730438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950730433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE024000\"\u003eWomen Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE023010\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | Death, Grief, Loss\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unsolicited Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44590664319213,"sku":"9781950730438","price":21.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_72fa413c-eba4-4548-abe3-eb7f85abc54c.jpg?v=1702262712","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/letters-to-minnehaha-creek-9781950730438","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
