Nature. Illness. Love. Loss. Misogyny. Aging. Africa. Our wounded planet. In this sweeping yet intensely personal collection, Lauren Martin tells the untold stories of the marginalized, the abused, the ill, the disabled--the different. Inspired by her life's experiences, including the isolation she has suffered as a result both of living with chronic illness and having devoted herself to a religion outside the mainstream, these poems explore with raw vulnerability and unflinching honesty what it is to live apart--even as one yearns for connection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eNight of the Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e is no lament; it is powerful, reverential, sometimes humorous, often defiant--\"\u003ci\u003eOh heat me and fill me \/ I rise above lines\u003c\/i\u003e\"--and full of wisdom. Visceral and stirring, the poems in this collection touch on vastly disparate subjects but are ultimately unified in a singular quest: to inspire those who read them toward kindness, compassion, and questioning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e She Writes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647426583\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lauren Martin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766796943541,"sku":"9781647426583","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_3150d099-9f0b-4a18-bc07-71b818941391.jpg?v=1710818590","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/night-of-the-hawk-poems-9781647426583","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
