{"product_id":"foxstruck-shari-kocher-9781925780789","title":"Foxstruck: and Other Collisions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThrough centuries, poets and artists have asked how to love and not be destroyed, how to enter the mystery of the dance and allow utter disintegration while tapping, and tapping at, the heart. This collection draws on ekphrastic and encaustic traditions in literature, alchemy and painting to explore the paradoxes of making and being, of devotion and seeing, of sustenance and sentience in matter infused with and bewildered by what we call love. Its formal task invokes a six-pointed star, the alchemic decantation of which surrenders the light of lead to the fallible compromises of what inexplicably shifts when we name the light gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErudite, sage, and deeply indebted to tradition, Kocher hones her imagery to a fierce precision, such that the poems in \u003cem\u003eFoxstruck and Other Collisions\u003c\/em\u003e transcend beauty and become something uttered \u003cem\u003eotherhow\u003c\/em\u003e, both spellbinding and life affirming at once. Kocher writes the domestic microcosm with a dark and reeling lucidity, and when she turns her notice to the natural world, which is ever present in her work, a profound environmental consciousness opens the porous body somatically, as a dance. This is dazzling poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Joan Fleming\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shari Kocher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925780783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925780789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puncher \u0026amp; Wattmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 8.00w x 0.39d","brand":"Shari Kocher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437146681599,"sku":"9781925780789","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06ee3173-6e21-40ba-848a-7033954eccaf.jpg?v=1777160181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foxstruck-shari-kocher-9781925780789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
