Description

A Gathered Distance: PoemsA Gathered Distance is a sustained and elegant lyric offering, weaving themes of loss and grief with transformation and beauty, which Chris Wallace Crabbe describes as "a most subtle orchestration of loss". The collection speaks to our shared experiences of connection and separation; the complex dynamics of family and parenthood. In a time of ecological crisis, Mark's work affirms the value of "lyric resistance", poetry's mysterious way of making

A Gathered Distance is a sustained and elegant lyric offering, weaving themes of loss and grief with transformation and beauty, which Chris Wallace-Crabbe describes as "a most subtle orchestration of loss". The collection speaks to our shared experiences of connection and separation; the complex dynamics of family and parenthood. In a time of ecological crisis, Mark's work affirms the value of "lyric resistance", poetry's mysterious way of making sense of things:

"When profound human emotion can recruit the lyric, the personal can become the human, the particular the archetypal. And a collapse of self can become a gathering of distances, a habitat of healing." - Mark Tredinnick.

From the title poem:

"...Be a garden in a city,

And be all the love you've lost. From all the unpropitious

Pieces tending toward a self, cultivate a solitude, harvest half

A life and make it whole. Gather all your distances, and

father all your orphan fears; hold them

Near, as a father might..."

Fit/Feel
Size: X-Small, Color: Navy
I have ordered other medline scrubs from other sellers and these particular pants are by far the best fit and the best feel. The quality of this fabric is not only extremely comfortable, but also makes the pants fall/fit differently around the hips and waistline. By far the best medline scrubs I have ever bought. Now I'm trying to find the exact match for the tops. For others looking to buy medline scrubs: I have a very athletic body type, so hospital grade scrubs fit me best, and that's why I choose medline. Others such as grey's anatomy and the like tend to be too snug around my hips and thighs and look unprofessional. So keep that in mind if you're not the athletic body type or if hospital surgical scrubs don't fit your style

Inaccurate photo of scrub pants
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Scrubs fit fine. However. The string isn’t brown. It is a dark hunter green. So the nice looking contrast with the string that is shown in the pictures isn’t what was delivered. I contacted the manufacturer and they were zero help since I bought off of Amazon

Medium fits 5’8” 148-155 comfortably
Size: Medium, Color: Ceil Blue
These scrubs are just like the OR scrubs I’ve been provided by my jobs as a travel nurse. Durable, medium weight, wash and wear. Medium fits my 5’8” 148 - 155 lb hour glass figure. Kinda snug at 155 but I’m losing the holiday fluff to stay in this size.

Comfy!
I know my picture is not a good picture of the pants. Love these scrubs. They are reversible which makes the pants fit weird at first but once the draw string is tied. They fit good. My underwear doesn’t show when i bend down (this is something most women’s scrubs do). Material is thin and breathable but not see-through. I love this blue color and I will definitely be getting more colors.

Very inconsistent in sizing.
Size: Small, Color: Misty Green
These scrub pants are a beautiful color and soft fabric. The down side to the Medline scrub pants is that they vary so much in size.
