Rarely has a poet tackled intimate love with so much invention and bravery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn poem after poem, we meet the troubling lover whose nearness and force undoes her. There are moments of reprieve: \"my naked body and budding pleasure \/ in the weather of your presence. \/ Not whether your presence but how.\" The voice is vulnerable, self-knowing, often funny; the poet seems to be writing these poems to save herself from a devastating passion. Her weapons are a cascade of brash, freely spoken lines and a powerful command of metaphor, wielded in a search for meaning and understanding. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese breathtaking love poems make the collection Arvio's most universal to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Arvio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0593319508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593319505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/16\/2021 pg. 61","brand":"Sarah Arvio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045120078079,"sku":"9780593319505","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ff8dae8-75b7-4136-846d-55cc4aa102ab.jpg?v=1684976849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cry-back-my-sea-sarah-arvio-9780593319505","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
