Populated by ghosts and children, lovers and amputations, bodies of water, insomnia, debt and domestic violence, Steinorth measures what is broken against the white space of the page, paying homage to the Great Lakes and snowscapes her poems inhabit and the vacancies, denials, and drains they circle. Formally inventive and musically obsessive, the book's unconventional formal construction and lyric wit contribute what Eleanor Wilner deems the essential \"Lightness\" described by Italo Calvino, noting Steinorth's \"ability to treat weighty subjects with a mastery of style . . . a liveliness of imagination and intelligence that lightens, without denial, what would otherwise be unbearable. . . .\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Sperry Steinorth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680031910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680031911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2020","brand":"Jennifer Sperry Steinorth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989439807743,"sku":"9781680031911","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90326839-c258-4688-9698-547356010e2f.jpg?v=1683299512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-wake-with-nine-shades-jennifer-sperry-steinorth-9781680031911","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
