Such poetic songs of exaltation and resistance as \"The Body as Religion\" and \"Sacred Tongues\" evoke the power of \"relishing the resplendence of our form\", this body-place \"enthroned with awe-inspiring wonders.\" The inherent feminism in this celebration of physicality, of the female body, of the diversity of female lives of significance, and of passion \"where the peace and pieces of God rest upon our skin\" inspires us to respect the heat of love, to \"set the sanctuary on fire\", and to revere the \"words so sacred I cannot pronounce.\" The only thing better than reading these poems, is to hear them in Sanderson's own melodically passionate voice. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Seasoned Woman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e is a gem, and leaves us all standing taller and prouder and more solidly encamped in the sacred temples of our own bodies. - \u003cem\u003eCarmen Tafolla, State Poet Laureate of Texas 2015\u003c\/em\u003e\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-13318997\"\u003eAndrea Vocab Sanderson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gnashing Teeth Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781966075028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1966075022\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-POE005050\"\u003eAmerican | African American \u0026amp; Black\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-POE024000\"\u003eWomen Authors\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gnashing Teeth Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48456993112301,"sku":"9781966075028","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_883dc0cb-d740-4f09-affa-925551749409.jpg?v=1753574884","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-seasoned-woman-9781966075028","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
