From a position of experience, the poet is able to contemplate the events of her lifetime with a thoughtful and sometimes gently ironic voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqual to the strength and wisdom of the memoir, however, is the richness and vividness of detail distilled through her clear and accessible style. Whether she's describing enigmatic memories of her mother, the exquisite but steadily disappearing Perito Moreno Glacier, or the moonshine still on her kitchen table, Hagen has mastered the trick of animating fleeting moments with an elegant touch that evokes both familiarity and wonder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jamella Hagen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889712638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889712638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nightwood Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Jamella Hagen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410418626815,"sku":"9780889712638","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2fcc711-29e4-43f5-a2ee-a8d1ee9dfe94.jpg?v=1697536148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kerosene-jamella-hagen-9780889712638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
