Here is a poet who holds, so dearly, all that slips away. 'O heart, ' begins one address, 'crumb-lover, taker of any bid. For as long \/ as there's land to walk along, isthmus, \/ channel, bridge to nothing, I'll move, I'll play, \/ I'll scrape flint into fire.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e-Danusha Laméris, final judge, Barry Spacks Poetry Prize \"In \u003cem\u003eAccidental Garden\u003c\/em\u003e, Catherine Esposito Prescott assembles a glowing collection of poems that seam the quotidian with the ethereal; for this poet, they are one and the same. There is a gently probing curiosity to these poems, a faith pieced with wing, hedge, moon, and the tenderness of our own bodies. The poet writes: \"I am a woman with a voice...that rains light.\" That's what these poems do above all-they shine.\"-Emma Trelles, author of \u003cem\u003eTropicalia\u003c\/em\u003e and Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara\"In poems both elegiac and celebratory, Prescott uses the lyric form to simultaneously center and expand her (and our) human experience. \u003cem\u003eAccidental Garden\u003c\/em\u003e takes on a global pandemic and individual illness and emerges as a handbook for survival. These poems are intimate and vulnerable but also utterly fierce and hauntingly beautiful. In each poem, I felt in the hands of a master.\" -Dean Rader, author of \u003cem\u003eSelf-Portrait as Wikipedia Entry\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWorks \u0026amp; Days\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350988570873,"sku":"9781957062068","price":19.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TnRpdEdhMExTV3pUc3o3YTRmcmdlQT09_45877531-b6f8-4be8-a7ef-7dd08dead5fa.webp?v=1769790792","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/accidental-garden-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
