{"product_id":"adaptations-va-smith-9798991413473","title":"Adaptations: Poems","description":"Adaptation as trope, science, and story is a throughline in this collection. Its title nods both to accommodations to change as well as correcting\/resisting a variety of existential, environmental, and historical toxins. In free verse and fixed forms, and in a variety of styles and idioms, a central speaker acts as a Greek\/pop chorus, singing songs about an imperiled natural world as well as the tragi-comic adaptations of human being. The collection concludes with a Mobius strip series, \" On Evolutionary Adaptability: A Cthulucene, Sonnet Crown.\" These final poems ask the reader to participate in a decentered human, activist planetary repair rather than adapt to the sufferings of climate-driven doom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Va Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798991413473\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Writers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Va Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962343870719,"sku":"9798991413473","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96a6db8b-adc0-41e3-86e4-18f82025891c.jpg?v=1750650072","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adaptations-va-smith-9798991413473","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
