In her new collection, \u003cb\u003eMedicine\u003c\/b\u003e, she deploys a variety of dramatic voices, spoken by such disparate characters as Cinderella's wicked sisters, the wife of a nineteenth-century naturalist, a homicide detective, and a woman who is happily married to a bear. Their elusive collectivity suggests, but never quite defines, the floating authorial presence that haunts them. Gerstler's abiding interests--in love and mourning, in science and pseudo-science, in the idea of an afterlife--are strongly evident in these new poems, which are full of strong emotion, language play, surprising twists, and a wicked sense of black humor.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862437822807,"sku":"9780140589245","price":21.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780140589245.jpg?v=1759917803","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/medicine-penguin-poets-9780140589245","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
