Berget's poetics point to landscapes used as sites of extraction, where exhausted phosphorus, starving clay layers, and forest machines are encountered. The poems in this collection traverse forests, deserts, and seas--their poetic matter separated by fields of caesuras, visual absences suggestive of Earth's ongoing extinctions. As jurors of the Brage Prize commented, within these pages is a universe where humans can seldom be separated from one another or from the nature they live in and among. Berget's first book translated into English is an innovative exploration of the climate crises we are living with today and the complex emotions that ebb and flow along with it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristin Berget\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810148463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810148468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Curbstone Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Kristin Berget","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46618150437119,"sku":"9780810148468","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18b52103-1ba3-4f03-8f54-c50f34a81923.jpg?v=1740069301","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/and-when-the-light-comes-kristin-berget-9780810148468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
