This work focuses on the environment, human and physical, in which the loss of nature and innocence is born and calls attention to the many ways we create both intimacy and distance when trauma is hidden or denied. Derek Thomas Dew's language is harsh, honest, and sometimes heartbreaking. His poems capture the confusion and fatigue that must be navigated for a victim of abuse to piece himself back together and the internal strife that comes with carry-ing a traumatic secret that can no longer be ignored. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Rich with unforgettable images and the quiet strength of hard-won survival, \u003ci\u003eRiddle Field\u003c\/i\u003e tackles the complex process of achieving self-awareness and recovery in the wake of profound trauma. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nevada Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781948908764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.20d","brand":"Derek Thomas Dew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36672736460956,"sku":"9781948908764","price":14.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f975a118-3a66-4d66-b6a6-a5acac0850d7.jpg?v=1603928272","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/riddle-field-poems-9781948908764","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
