They sing, too, of the natural world and its wisdom. A few poems dare touch on the trick of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"These are the marvelous poems of a life lived on the edge of the wild, homestead poems among the harsh beauties of the far North. Clean language that relies on the natural image to trace out a thin narrative thread and carry the deep feeling within. A mother spinning yarn from the long wool of the sheep's belly, dyed with burdock and beet-skin. The chapped hands of working class youth; night shift at a slaughterhouse, hustling the lumber mill's green chain. I admire their spare lines and Stoic outlook, reminiscent of Gary Snyder or early John Haines.\" - Joseph Millar, author of \u003cem\u003eShine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Anthony Burke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939530385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939530387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Circling Rivers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.27d","brand":"Mark Anthony Burke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47305440493823,"sku":"9781939530387","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81324c97-18f3-41d3-97ff-704b3ba0693c.jpg?v=1758830886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/birds-and-the-trick-of-mark-anthony-burke-9781939530387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
