In the poems of \u003ci\u003eAugury\u003c\/i\u003e, revelation is found in nature's smallest details: a lizard's quick movements, a tree scarred by lighting, the white curve of a snail's shell. Here the sensory world and the imagined one collide in unexpected and wonderful ways, as Pankey scrutinizes the physical for meaning, and that meaning for truth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With uncommon grace, each of Pankey's precise lyrics advances our shared ontological questions and expresses our deepest contradictions. In a world of mystery, should we focus on finding meaning or creating it? How can the known--and the unknown-- be captured in language? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eAugury\u003c\/i\u003e is a masterful and magical collection from a poet of stirring intelligence, \"a book of stones unstitched from the wolf's belly.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2017 pg. 15\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Eric Pankey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660150829212,"sku":"9781571314796","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f3523611-d5bc-41e3-bde6-5f0ce3dd1750.jpg?v=1603896208","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/augury-poems-9781571314796","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
