{"product_id":"we-mammals-in-hospitable-times","title":"We Mammals in Hospitable Times","description":"We Mammals in Hospitable Times rushes headlong into an awfully dangerous planet: a spinning rock in outer space called Earth  where the smallest zoo animals are forgotten in fires  cats flee vacuums  lovers betray and abandon one another  basements flood as the globe warms  and an adopted parrot shrieks unfamiliar names. The narrator of these poems wavers between warysometimes I mix up fear with hissed instructionsand wide-eyed  wanting desperately to make sense of all this perplexing behavior. Sometimes paranoid  occasionally manic  often very funny  these poems consult archaeologists  biologists  psychiatrists  encyclopedias and even aliens  trying to understand how so many disparate things can be interrelated. And even as the poet reaches some grim conclusions about our collective fate  this sense of doom only increases her awe at the strange and fleeting beauty that surrounds us  whether it be gams of satiny whales  the shiny pink hill made by microwaved bologna  or the cyanobacteria of an Antarctic lake radiating orange light. With this highly anticipated debut  Jynne Dilling Martin delivers poetry that offer armfuls of empathy  curiosity  and spiritual force.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44666262519861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0887485960","price":106.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_0887485960.jpg?v=1756292036","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/we-mammals-in-hospitable-times","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
