Sexton divides his year between the two states, and he captures here the small but powerful sensual details of day-to-day life in these contrasting, yet similar, environs. His carefully crafted verse distills the birch and aspen, lynx and ptarmigan, and the snow on high peaks. Through his poems we thrill to experience encounters with the wild, the seasons, and the sublime landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003e\"\u003c\/i\u003eHis language is clear, without tricks or fancy moves, yet his directness is powerful, and the effects are human\"--Paul Zimmer, \u003ci\u003eGeorgia Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Sexton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1602230501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781602230507\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Alaska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Tom Sexton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46838327509247,"sku":"9781602230507","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_58218272-ed06-4bb0-95c2-dfc684221e0d.jpg?v=1746589484","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/for-the-sake-of-the-tom-sexton-9781602230507","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
