{"product_id":"boomhouse-9781737925842","title":"Boomhouse","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoomhouse thrums with loss  with complicated love  with fortitude. The poems travel a chain of rivers and lakes from the great timber stands of Canada to the dying mill towns of Maine  bending and rippling through history  oral accounts  superstitious customs  family lore and memory. Summer J. Hart navigates the twisting dynamics of a family that is both Native and settler. She weaves stories and spells from the most delicate and indelible details. \"There is no other poetry book quite like Boomhouse. Summer J. Harts poems are at once grim and tender  brutal and yielding  as they unfold with intense lyricism: dark omens  protection spells  and prayers intermingle as Hart crafts for us a rich and relentless world in which peril lurks everywhere.\"--W. Todd Kaneko  author of This Is How the Bone Sings \"Harts hybridic constructions brilliantly braid lyric segments with intimate narration  anchoring us in air that is \"spiced in the cologne of lupines \" as she explores what it means to be an inhabitant of this earth.\"--Simone Muench  author of Wolf Centos and Orange Crush \"The poems in Summer J. Harts Boomhouse do real  necessary  and stirring work: they observe  they witness  they cure--cure as in heal and cure as in preserve--and they curse.\"--Lindsay Turner  author of The Upstate \"Summer J. Harts poems form an eclectic gathering so magnificently crafted that it reads as fluidly as the best novels in verse; yet this immersive collection never forsakes its sense of existence as a granular and motley affair. In invocations as rhythmic as Joy Harjos  every Earthling that makes Harts world is marked and held with specific  particular care.\"--Mandy-Suzanne Wong  author of The Box \"These poems twist an archive of place from wooly \u0026amp; feral  burdock \u0026amp; clover  apples \u0026amp; lobsters  peat \u0026amp; loam  barnacles \u0026amp; bladder  grass \u0026amp; chlorine  fingers \u0026amp; tangles  grackles \u0026amp; blackbirds  plump \u0026amp; shiny  my sister \u0026amp; I  feathers \u0026amp; claws  saltwater \u0026amp; time  dried seaweed \u0026amp; frayed rope  high summer \u0026amp; low tide.\"--Pattie McCarthy  author of Wifthing Poetry  Native American Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924661993525,"sku":"ByrdShop_1737925842","price":103.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781737925842.jpg?v=1794139062","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/boomhouse-9781737925842","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
