Throughout, details of lived experience emerge--hiking through the Pacific Northwest, caring for an elder's great-granddaughter, helping a friend deal with cancer, sorting through the ruins of a relationship--and yet the interior voice is always tuned to the physical world, envisioning the shared understanding that connects all life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVersatile in its forms and expressions, encyclopedic in its comprehension, \u003cem\u003eReading Novalis in Montana\u003c\/em\u003e is a virtuoso performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.8 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 27, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760511549728,"sku":"9781571314291","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d8d2a43c3a065075f82bd68085f7d42f.webp?v=1780181975","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/reading-novalis-in-montana-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
