{"product_id":"louder-birds-9780807172995","title":"Louder Birds","description":"Angela Voras--Hills's \u003ci\u003eLouder Birds\u003c\/i\u003e, her debut collection of poetry, is a beautiful study of the natural world, motherhood, and the inherent desire for meaning. This collection of complex lyric poems holds a haunting absence at its center, an absence that is \"impossible to navigate.\" Yet Voras--Hills presses on, untangling the distinctions that surround her (human and animal, domestic and wild) with both bravery and respect. She writes, \"The boundaries between home and the road \/ are insecure: it's impossible to navigate this landscape. \/ We've all been in the presence of something dark \/ and have chosen not to seek shelter.\" As the poet hones in on naming the void, her surroundings grow more threatening--but not once does she surrender or turn back. Voras--Hills's poems are smart enough to know the distinctions themselves are tenuous at best, and wise enough to know that we must always pay our dues to the world beyond our door. Wondrous, ruminative, and revelatory, \u003ci\u003e Louder Birds\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection that is not to be missed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807172995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.10w x 0.20d","brand":"Angela Voras-Hills","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36644095197340,"sku":"9780807172995","price":17.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1cf3086c-3da6-46e9-9946-e96be8996ce4.jpg?v=1603857895","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/louder-birds-9780807172995","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
