Weaving themes of death, migration, and aging into an exploration of the natural world, Galvin's work reflects a deep engagement with the places he and his family have called home, as well as with the triumphs and tragedies of human life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe collection begins by examining the vagaries of age, as Galvin ponders his role as caretaker for his wife following her stroke. It then moves into remembrances of walks on the beaches of Cape Cod, encounters with land and sea animals, and observations of the Atlantic Ocean's calm and violence. Other poems commemorate Galvin's Irish heritage and the emigration of family and friends from Donegal to the suburbs of his native Massachusetts. Whether eulogizing a deceased pet or capturing the flight of a seabird, \u003ci\u003eThe Air's Accomplices\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a keen sense of observation and empathy for all living things.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LSU Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807159033\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.22d","brand":"Brendan Galvin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769685872821,"sku":"9780807159033","price":17.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ae40e0b3-d849-420d-91dd-ad7c207d4058.jpg?v=1678834819","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-airs-accomplices-poems-9780807159033","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
