{"product_id":"an-ecology-of-elsewhere-sandra-meek-9780892554737","title":"An Ecology of Elsewhere: Poems","description":"Following her mother's death, nearly twenty years after her time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Botswana, Sandra Meek began traveling extensively through Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa. During this same period, she and her sister also traveled the American Southwest with their declining father, confronting and healing from a difficult family history before his death. Whether describing a Namibian baby seal hunt, 1500-year-old Welwitschia plants living off of fog in a desert studded with landmines, or the sandstone \"temples\" of Zion National Park, Meek's poems attend to the endangered as well as the enduring, braiding personal narrative with those of the natural world from which they arise. At once nomadic and deeply rooted to place, \u003cem\u003eAn Ecology of Elsewhere\u003c\/em\u003e interweaves a difficult past (personal and terrestrial) with an uncertain future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Meek\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0892554738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780892554737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Persea Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2016 pg. 99","brand":"Sandra Meek","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447814926591,"sku":"9780892554737","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5a34fc73-69b9-499d-bc33-ee940daf1214.jpg?v=1777235002","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-ecology-of-elsewhere-sandra-meek-9780892554737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
