On the surface a book about a man and a woman trying to conceive a child, \u003ci\u003eHuman Love\u003c\/i\u003e is more deeply an attempt to focus on the process of human creativity in general and, ultimately, the desire to remake the world and self so that both will be more hospitable to new life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Here, the physical processes of modern fertility treatments become a means through which the self experiences the world with grace and love; the wished-for child also begets a new relationship between man and woman. Though dark at times, \u003ci\u003eHuman Love\u003c\/i\u003e never surrenders hope, and Gildroy never lets the muted music of her verse succumb to despair. A meditation on the body as a source of joy, anxiety, and regeneration, this collection extends the capacity of the lyric to articulate human feeling while considering the complications of love, both human and divine, and the distinctions between them.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Human Love | Doreen Gildroy | Paperback | 9780226293301 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1650746","offer_id":50712575770882,"sku":"1650746","price":25.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81GPSL01abL.jpg?v=1791757359","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/human-love","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
