{"product_id":"accidental-garden-catherine-esposito-prescott-9781957062068","title":"Accidental Garden","description":"\"I admire these poems for their willingness to encounter; to give us the saw-toothed shark, the microbe, the manatee, and, of course, the moon. 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.'\"-Danusha Lam駻is, 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Catherine Esposito Prescott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957062061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957062068\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gunpowder Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/21\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Catherine Esposito Prescott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44133597610239,"sku":"9781957062068","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de3e9da8-83f2-40ba-9479-c9c4fc3c34a6.jpg?v=1687487081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/accidental-garden-catherine-esposito-prescott-9781957062068","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
