The hive serves as a thematic thread in this collection that explores the space between past and present, shame and redemption, grief and resilience. Poetic forms lend meaning-like the villanelle that captures the grief-driven magical thinking of the speaker. Are recurring red fox sightings visitations from her deceased father and nephew? Trauma and loss appear in these tonally rich and imagistic poems, but the arc ultimately centers on the search for belonging, the attempt to recreate home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Austin-Li\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1963695259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781963695250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Madville Publishing LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Ellen Austin-Li","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46489495994623,"sku":"9781963695250","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e340fba1-6a56-4f0d-9d2d-7108a04b9a8f.jpg?v=1736953722","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/incidental-pollen-ellen-austin-li-9781963695250","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
