With a radical sympathy, poems like \"Red Maple (\u003cem\u003eAcer rubrum\u003c\/em\u003e)\" suggest that like this tree \"felled weeks ago, plunging with a sigh\/ as the earth rushed up to receive it\" we too have been \"trimmed from this life.\" Once inside the rooms of these poems, deep images, sly rhythms and musicality reward close reading as in \"Hancock Point, Early Autumn\" where \"Autumn is a bleached whelk chrysalis, \/ a mermaid's purse of brine and bone.\" And yet, the \"ripe and heavy\" \"game bags at our backs\" in \"Partridge Hunting\" will likely break your heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--\u003cstrong\u003eNina Dellaria\u003c\/strong\u003e, Co-Founder \u0026amp; Editor of \u003cem\u003eBird's Thumb\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Casey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 194178349X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941783498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Glass Lyre Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.18d","brand":"Kevin Casey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747874099455,"sku":"9781941783498","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_606f39e0-188b-44a2-a7fa-d17a6c03c597.jpg?v=1743584983","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-lotus-kevin-casey-9781941783498","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
