{"product_id":"mimosas-at-sunset-9781970256024","title":"Mimosas at Sunset","description":"\u003cp\u003eSharon M. Carter's poems speak of a close attention to the world around her. She writes of a living, breathing otherness that feels like worship. There's a mystical thread throughout her work, while at the same time botany appears as a consultant. Science is this poet's first love, made clear in the carefully chosen facts that dance in and out of these incredibly lovely poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Pamela Moore Dionne, author of \u003cem\u003eParadox and Illusion\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTaut Caesuras\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese spiky but tender poems grow from a complex root system slowly exposed as we read them. Describing the terror of a difficult childbirth, or commenting on a corrupt culture-tell me, when has money made anyone honest?-Carter uses myth and emotion to wrap us in a vine of beauty, memory, and brutal decay. Common flowers and vegetation become metaphors for larger concerns and expand our world exponentially.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Gayle Kaune, author of \u003cem\u003eAll the Birds Awake\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNoise from Stars\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moonpath Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781970256024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Sharon M.
