Grounded in the working-class streets of Boston and the coastal landscapes of Maine, these poems bear witness to the fragile moments of life and the deep human need for connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the eye of a first responder and the heart of a storyteller, Breen explores both private grief and public tragedy. His poems, many previously published in respected journals, are informed by a lifetime of service, family heritage, and his friendship with literary legend Seamus Heaney. This collection speaks to readers who find grace in small details, reverence in ordinary moments, and resilience in the face of hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy this example of Robert Breen's work: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkating\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour joy, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur civility, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein harmony, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith sharing\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ea cooperation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eto be amiable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll in balance on a thin single blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53575121895731,"sku":"9798218607173","price":15.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/the-light-of-civil-day-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
