She also explores the experiences of loss and grief with humor, sadness, and in \"Not Shaped Like a Fist,\" with anger and resignation. Death makes a personal appearance in two poems, advising in \"Close as a Twin,\" that \"It's not personal,\" since he comes for everyone. In another poem, \"The Visit,\" Death gets outmatched by a dying woman and backs off for the time being. Through it all, there is a sense of reverence at life's beauty and mystery as when, at the end of the title poem, Wonder-filled and Strange, Ms. Gibson writes: \"Perhaps there are many worlds \/ or maybe only this one - \/ lavish and unpredictable, \/ wonder-filled and strange.\" We invite you to step into Ms. Gibson's poetic world and explore with her why we're here and what it might mean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 17, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67926513287422,"sku":"9798899902161","price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/wg_NzFix-y9798899902161.webp?v=1793449950","url":"https:\/\/123learningstore.com\/products\/wonder-filled-and-strange-paperback","provider":"123 Learning Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
