{"product_id":"wild-flight-9780896726215","title":"Wild Flight","description":"Soaring across extensive terrain, from the working world of Detroit to American suburbia and pop culture; from the European landscape of World War II to the current war in Iraq, Christine Rhein opens her personal world to the world at large. In poems that explore the historical, social, and scientific, as well as the poignant and humorous, Rhein relishes life s juxtapositions. \u003cbr\u003efrom Tuning \u003cbr\u003eI try to tune out the boom  boom  boom \u003cbr\u003e from the shooting range two miles from my house, \u003cbr\u003e and think of the people who live next door \u003cbr\u003eto the targets, or in the din of London and Berlin\u003cbr\u003e where nightingales now sing fourteen decibels louder\u003cbr\u003e to be heard by mates, quintupling the pressure \u003cbr\u003ein their lungs . . . . . . Imagine\u003cbr\u003e if we could hear bread rising, dew forming, the budding\u003cbr\u003e of raspberries, the tear of a cocoon, a minnow s pulse, \u003cbr\u003eour own cells growing, dying. When my husband\u003cbr\u003e kisses my ear, I love the swoosh, the quiver, his breaths\u003cbr\u003e and driven by wind, my whispered name.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Tech University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780896726215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.18h x 6.31w x 0.59d","brand":"Christine Rhein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645793890460,"sku":"9780896726215","price":18.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_08492442-d41b-4ad1-8184-a6dac0ed3c17.jpg?v=1603862135","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wild-flight-9780896726215","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
