In the Salt is part love song to a child, part homage to Homer's Penelope. If \"Motherhood is a kind of wildness, a loosening,\" we find in these poems a painful, tentative hope, the world pulled to tatters by crisis, each morning the threads taken up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Bethany Reid, author of 2023 Sally Albiso Award Winner \u003cem\u003eThe Pear Tree: elegy for a farm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the Salt\u003c\/em\u003e is one of those rarest experiences that haunts the reader long after setting the book aside. Finding its nexus in the voices of Homer's Nausicaä and Penelope, this collection engages the myths of the female body, of childbirth, motherhood, of desire. And yet, Caitlin Dwyer somehow makes songs of it all. Songs a mother sings to know she is living. Songs a mother sings to keep others alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Kevin Goodan, author of \u003cem\u003eSpot Weather Forecast\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith courage and lyric power, Caitlin Dwyer celebrates and suffers a landscape made luminous by the birth of a son who hovers perilously close to dying. Here is a singular terrain of the psyche, the natural world, and the mythic. These poems give off a rare, striking light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Greg Glazner, author of \u003cem\u003eSingularity \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eFrom the Iron Chair\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 15, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47354286997753,"sku":"9781970256000","price":21.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/t5qLD8yr9o9781970256000.webp?v=1769833508","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/in-the-salt-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
