These voyages are described in a series of blunt, uncompromising prose pieces, in search of an unknown destination, a \"fertile country inhabited by sweet dispositioned savages who can be harnessed and used to good advantage.\" The striking energy and territory of \u003cb\u003eBoiling Lake (On Voyage)\u003c\/b\u003e is a deeply conflicted cultural, metaphysical, and psycho-sexual space, a myriad, cubistic series of personae and forgotten voices that make our post-natural world both new again and hauntingly known.\" -Sam Witt, poet, \u003ci\u003eSunflower Brother\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eEverlasting Quail\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sharyn O'Mara,Sharon White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1937543641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781937543648\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jaded Ibis Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sharyn O'Mara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486396330239,"sku":"9781937543648","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_530d4a0c-dc2e-45fd-9827-ef494ec5182d.jpg?v=1778055264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boiling-lake-on-voyage-sharyn-omara-9781937543648","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
