At times intimate, at times cinematic, these are moving pieces marked by the poet's ability to capture us with fresh and brilliant detail, as in 'Therapy, ' where we encounter a 'large lone goldfish\/orange like an\/American president' or in 'Christmas in England' where 'silverware glints like dinoflagellates\/in a dark lagoon.' A work of great intimacy and individuality.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Catherine Doty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The poems of\u003cem\u003e Fall Risk\u003c\/em\u003e are beautiful and brutal at once. Lawrence is able to corral presence and absence the physicality of loss in poem after poem. Unsparing in its imagery, this collection tergiversates between nuance and grit, creating a stunning music and a powerful experience a testament to what it's like to continue to live. I am glad to have discovered Lawrence's work through this book.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-BJ Ward\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stacey Lawrence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646626036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646626038\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Stacey Lawrence","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485749850367,"sku":"9781646626038","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66a9e8f6-3e6d-4f20-a651-0553918d4963.jpg?v=1778051335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fall-risk-stacey-lawrence-9781646626038","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
