Balancing direct, unstated language with a suggestive \"aslantness,\"  Nye probes the fragile connection between language and meaning. She never shies from the challenge of trying to name the mysterious logic of childhood, or speak truth to power in the face of the horrors of war. She understands our lives are marked by tragedy, inequity and misunderstanding, and that our best chance of surviving our losses and shortcomings is to maintain a heightened awareness of the sacred in all things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcerpt from \"The Day\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI missed the day\u003cbr\u003eon which it was said\u003cbr\u003eothers should not have\u003cbr\u003ecertain weapons, but we could.\u003cbr\u003eNot only could, but should, \u003cbr\u003e          and do.\u003cbr\u003eI missed that day.\u003cbr\u003eWas I sleeping?\u003cbr\u003eI might have been digging\u003cbr\u003ein the yard, \u003cbr\u003edoing something small and slow \u003cbr\u003eas usual. \u003cbr\u003eOr maybe I wasn't born yet.\u003cbr\u003eWhat about all the other people \u003cbr\u003ewho aren't born? \u003cbr\u003eWho will tell them?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublishing Date: September 2005\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Paperback ISBN: 1-929918-69-0 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCloth ISBN: 1-929918-68-2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e© BOA Editions, Ltd 2005\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BOA Editions, Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46627128934629,"sku":"1929918690","price":15.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":46627128967397,"sku":"1929918691","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0982\/0178\/products\/YOU_AND_YOURS.jpg?v=1527683794","url":"https:\/\/shop.boaeditions.org\/products\/you-yours","provider":"Boa Editions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
