Here we taste a longing to kiss in the dark corner of the gym, to leap into a volcano's molten fire, to be unraveled, undone thread by thread, made one with all things. Microscopic and tidal, earthquake and fire-prone, \u003ci\u003eBlade by Blade\u003c\/i\u003e thrives in the underbrush of human emotion. These poems are luminous missives tossed on the wind asking us to re-enter the world we've forsaken, to set foot, as if for the first time, on the green earth and begin again.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Copper Canyon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781556597039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Danusha Lam\u0026#195;\u0026#169;ris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431970664629,"sku":"9781556597039","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_bb27919e-6cb4-45ae-9e58-17dea5c2d22b.jpg?v=1721139139","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/blade-by-blade-9781556597039","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
