{"product_id":"eventide-sally-stewart-mohney-9781952326509","title":"eventide","description":"It's hard to know what to rave about first-Sally Stewart Mohney's ability to capture and celebrate the everydayness of ordinary lives or her use of language-sparse, precise, and always musical. She writes of places, often identified with the people on whom they've left their mark and who have left their mark on them, in what is, perhaps, only a brief moment in time. Skillfully, with insight and compassion, she records those moments we tend to take for granted, those rare revelations hastily glimpsed, frequently forgotten. \u003cp\u003e-Diana Anhalt, author of \u003ci\u003eA Gathering of Fugitives..., Shiny Objects, Second Skin, Lives of Straw, Because There is No Return\u003c\/i\u003e and\u003ci\u003e Walking Backward\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSally Stewart Mohney is a painterly poet. She colors these quiet poems with beautiful diction. Unexpected word combinations, alliteration, \"Gray rocks bleed \/ green over glazed water,\" and strings of images create a gauzy sense of solitude, whether the speakercontemplates a river or touches her late mother's 'totems' one by one: \"White \/ conch, shellacked horn, curdled \/ Christmas candles, a brittle corsage.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Karen Paul Holmes, Author of \u003ci\u003eTying the Knot\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNo Such Things as Distance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor me, Sally Stewart Mohney's poems are so painterly in their expression and tide-like in their flow and restraint, that they create for me 'waking dreams, ' in which subtext and context coalesce. Her landscapes, flora, fauna, and people are beautiful, strange, and lambent. They are poems crafted by a writer equipped with hyper-perceptive care, a sensitive mind and heart-ones that, when carefully read deeply felt, reward the reader's mind and emotions equally. Her work is unique and extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-William Wright, Series Editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Southern Poetry Anthology, \u003c\/i\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eTree Heresies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Stewart Mohney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1952326508\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781952326509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.10d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sally Stewart Mohney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440190075135,"sku":"9781952326509","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f54693da-67d1-4f4b-8917-16c327a25255.jpg?v=1777180782","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eventide-sally-stewart-mohney-9781952326509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
