A forest is interrupted by a graveyard of Bob's Big Boy statuettes; ruling cockroaches populate a nuclear fall-out film; lichen becomes litter; a horse and farrier practice their choreography, as he \"let s] her lean on him, her hips cocked, almost delicate.\" These poems teem with litany, landscape, literal and figurative image; an awareness of mortality hovers, not so much afterlife as underlife. Menting has a gift for moody and luminous phrasing: \"For some, the world is wood tick wicked.\" There's magic to a collection that does such heavy lifting with a light touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e --Sandra Beasley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Menting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0998215910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998215914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Terrapin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2017\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":"Michelle Menting","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989713158399,"sku":"9780998215914","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5090f25b-5b68-4544-9a41-eb7f9772510e.jpg?v=1683301010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaves-surface-like-skin-michelle-menting-9780998215914","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
