In these \"dear poems that don't pain [her] like those about the war do,\" Kruk uses imagery and tone to underscore poetic agency, at times juxtaposing figurative language with a calm, direct voice to bring her poems to life. Nature cannot be relied on to sustain nor renew, and life is shown to be fundamentally vulnerable. \"Calm\" is a seductive state of mind capable of cunning, and the speaker is unable to find a place where she can thrive or grow. Still, daily tasks emerge as life-affirming and a welcome constant. It is ultimately a movement toward survival that drives the immediacy and urgency of Kruk's poetry. \u003ci\u003eLost in Living\u003c\/i\u003e is the sixteenth volume in the Lost Horse Press Contemporary Poetry Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Halyna Kruk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798986571577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lost Horse Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.35h x 5.35w x 0.47d","brand":"Halyna Kruk","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460129042687,"sku":"9798986571577","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_209685b6-a123-49d9-84bf-d4e9aa0185e4.jpg?v=1777413241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-in-living-halyna-kruk-9798986571577","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
