Poem by poem, character by character, the reader pieces together clues to a murder: when the victim went missing, who she left behind, what she left behind... This book's parts all are poems, but the whole is a story that answers Josephine's own question, \"Is it too late to die of old age?\"\u003cbr\u003e - H. L.

Suggested by the extraordinary actual events surrounding the disappearance and subsequent discovery of the carefully concealed body of an adjunct professor in a small university town, \u003ci\u003eA Wake for Josephine\u003c\/i\u003e poignantly and graphically brings the circumstances of her death into a semblance of focus. All in this tale of woe are given a voice; all are offered a chance for understanding; not all are successful. Though shaped as a collection of poems, monologues, essays, and dramas, it is instead a single piece, each element necessary for the sake of the story being told. \u003ci\u003eA Wake for Josephine\u003c\/i\u003e is Kenneth Robbins' first foray into the world of poetry.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 13, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42721019330623,"sku":"9781960038197","price":12.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/1fe7b8258543002488b5f74741c11655.webp?v=1765090887","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/a-wake-for-josephine-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
