ISBN: 9780679448785.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiane Ackermans poems reveal her intense response to the several worlds of nature, science, and society. Her lyricism fuses wit and sobriety, meditation and activism, and she confronts us with figures both real and fantastic.\n\nAs always, her strong connection with the natural world, the realms of language and literature, myth and imagination, combines with her deep understanding of the sciences to offer her readers a singular American voice. This is not a voice crying in the wilderness, but one that gives forth songs of joy and wonder.\n\nOrganized into seven sections, including \"Timed Talk,\" \"By Atoms Moved,\" and \"Tender Mercies,\" I Praise My Destroyer is less an assorted collection than an organically coherent whole, one that reveals Ackermans true calling as a twentieth-century metaphysical poet of the highest order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44430658011189,"sku":"ByrdShop_0679448780","price":27.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780679448785_b3be5e3f-53a5-49fe-acb1-e99156aa0d33.jpg?v=1784392066","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/i-praise-my-destroyer-poems-9780679448785","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
