{"product_id":"red-ocher-9781682262290","title":"Red Ocher","description":"In Jessica Poli's \u003ci\u003eRed Ocher\u003c\/i\u003e, the wild mortality of the natural world merges with melancholic expressions of romantic loss: a lamb runt dies in the night, a first-time lover inflicts casual cruelties, brussels sprouts rot in a field, love goes quietly and unbearably unrequited. This is an ecopoetics that explores the cyclical natures of love and grief, mindful that \"there will be room for desire \/ again, even after it leaves \/ like a flood receding, \/ the damaged farmhouses \/ and washed-away bridges \/ lying scattered the next day \/ amid silt and debris.\" Throughout, Poli's poems hold space for the sacred--finding it in woods overgrown with thorny weeds, in drunken joy rides down rural roads, and in the red ocher barns that haunt the author's physical and emotional landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Arkansas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682262290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68","brand":"Jessica Poli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42580563919029,"sku":"9781682262290","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0d810ce7-ec0c-4881-8196-96ef9e56b0b0.jpg?v=1672758118","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/red-ocher-9781682262290","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
