After weeks of loneliness and despair, he begins to explore his wife's pottery studio in the wild hills of Northern California, teaching himself to mix clay, throw a pot, fire a kiln, trim and glaze. Just as his grief is ebbing and his future in clay is looking bright, a wildfire advances upon his studio and threatens to destroy everything he has created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCracked Pot is a singular book: a story of love lost and the labyrinthine path through grief; a meditation on the craft of pottery and its power to inspire and restore; a rumination on the life of a writer and the refuge of words; an examination of how generational family trauma can shape an artist. Montague's haunting memoir is a kaleidoscopic and redemptive reading experience, one that serves to remind its readers about the cracks and the light. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Cracked Pot is a soul-baring memoir of love, creativity, loss, grief, and creativity again.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e --Benjamin Dreyer, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eDreyer's English\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 252\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.57 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760972169504,"sku":"9781957607092","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8891ce482cbd28e8414efc7a083f2fc8.webp?v=1780195729","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/cracked-pot-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
