{"product_id":"at-risk-9781964957005","title":"At Risk","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn her fourth poetry collection, \u003ci\u003eAt Risk\u003c\/i\u003e, Teresa Cader reflects on suffering, survival, and the defiant force of love--what Polish Nobel Laureate Wislawa Szymborska identified in herself as \"rapture and despair.\" Many of Cader's poems bear familial witness to the same brutal historical landscape and its forced immigration; others explore risks to self, identity, and survival in contemporary America. All are linked by a compassionate imagination, stunning imagery, wit, sonic beauty, and Cader's characteristically striking juxtapositions: Homer appears in a peacock on the poet's sun deck; Bruno Schulz talks back to Elon Musk about colonizing Mars; in 1913 an infant is sent through the mail for 15 cents; a Polish cousin released from Auschwitz conjures his love as an alabaster figurine on the sea. Masterful in metrical, free, and formal verse, \u003ci\u003eAt Risk\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us of the threats to our survival and the sources of our resilience in a lyric voice of distinctive power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashland Poetry Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781964957005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 93","brand":"Teresa Cader","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53239898702005,"sku":"9781964957005","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9781964957005.jpg?v=1788974766","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/at-risk-9781964957005","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
