{"product_id":"sycamore-poems-9781571314734","title":"Sycamore: Poems","description":"Meditative and richly written, this collection of poems by Kathy Fagan takes the sycamore as its inspiration--and delivers precise, luminous insights on lost love, nature, and the process of recovery. \"It is the season of separation \u0026amp; falling \/ Away,\" Fagan writes. And so--like the abundance of summer diminishing to winter, and like the bark of the sycamore, which sheds to allow the tree's expansion--the speaker of these poems documents a painful loss and tenuous rebirth, which take shape against a forested landscape. Black walnuts fall where no one can eat or smell them. Cottonwood sends out feverish signals of pollen. And everywhere are sycamores, informed by Fagan's scientific and mythological research. Spellbinding and ambitious, \u003ci\u003eSycamore\u003c\/i\u003e is an important new work from a writer whose poems \"gleam like pearls or slowly burning stones\" (Philip Levine).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2017 pg. 89\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Kathy Fagan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660150763676,"sku":"9781571314734","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ae943e70-a26a-4d2b-8c54-bbcb6c4e371d.jpg?v=1603896208","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/sycamore-poems-9781571314734","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
