Fraser writes at eye level, detailing the experiences of fatherhood, love, and the quiet of daily life, poised at the brink of abrupt upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems are an exercise in precision and reflection. Free verse and prose show readers the life within the landscape. In \"My Daughter and the Lizard,\" the speaker reflects on grace, meditating on the reptile his child is inspecting: \"I scissor-jab three holes through the lid \/ of a Mason jar and tell her to be gentle, \/ 'It's a living thing, ' I say, 'not a toy.'\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e We are how we live. These poems balance imagination and truth telling with rich verse that brings the reader's ear closer to the quiet--and how intense it truly is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810143100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810143104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Triquarterly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.40d","brand":"Gregory Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978620829951,"sku":"9780810143104","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b681bb57-b4f0-41ac-916b-5e5b2c96dc64.jpg?v=1683242368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/little-armageddon-gregory-fraser-9780810143104","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
