Full of imagery deeply embedded in memories of growing up in the American South, Koets explores what it means to hold--to carry memories--and what to hold onto and what to let go. Birds turn into paper, a voice fits inside a chestnut shell, and moths eat stars through a woolen sky as the collection evokes nuance within the ordinary, reframes childhood memory, and engages the themes of the night, sensuality, and desire. Whether questioning personal histories, language, sexual identity, or love, the collection honors the \"gentle corners of the night\" that allow for questioning and uncertainty to exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Koets\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1611170842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781611170849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of South Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Julia Koets","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996371714303,"sku":"9781611170849","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_795d7963-89e9-42c1-b354-1f152839b875.jpg?v=1683341310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hold-like-owls-julia-koets-9781611170849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
