Watery, fragile, ephemeral-these adjectives describe the speaker's environment, body, and relationship to others. I love these poems because there is something unsafe about them, a glinting of sunlight off the water that startles the reader awake. Stockton's attention challenges our social institutions and complacent thinking, sees both the suffering human sitting on the church pew and the self's smallness of response. Yet what natural joy to be found in these poems, which remind us that \"joy abides in the body like an octopus.\" You will want to carry the place of these poems with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Han Vanderhart, PhD, \u003c\/strong\u003eauthor of \u003cem\u003eWhat Pecan Light \u003c\/em\u003e(Bull City Press);host of Of \u003cem\u003ePoetry Podcast;\u003c\/em\u003e Editor of \u003cem\u003eMoist Poetry Journal\u003c\/em\u003e andReviews Editor of\u003cem\u003e EcoTheo Review\u003c\/em\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 16, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47350843277561,"sku":"9781941783924","price":20.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/SDhFRHo0UXFYRDZBOUtwd1lGSUFuQT09_25d5f442-ed55-4ecd-9d39-a07306f09875.webp?v=1769790388","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/castaway-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
