Set inside the blue-collar automotive town of Windsor, Ontario, \u003cem\u003eMayflies\u003c\/em\u003e traces the trajectory of adolescence into adulthood: A personal inventory of \"glass-specked streets and shuttered storefronts\" and \"open wounds and eyesores\" that follows in the wake of the 2008 recession. Cassandra Caverhill captures urban decline and imagines the road ahead as pockmarked and pot-holed, with opportunities dissolving beneath the weight of semitrucks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese narrative poems explore how place colors possibility and affects relationship; how the absence of feeling is filled by obliteration. Using sharp textural images and a keen self-awareness, the poet weaves her own struggles with Windsor's, chronicling the city's descent as though it were a loved one lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cassandra Caverhill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646622820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646622825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.10d","brand":"Cassandra Caverhill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43943433634047,"sku":"9781646622825","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d9d5cc68-4e13-4725-8f9e-f1b97c9d9730.jpg?v=1681498094","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mayflies-cassandra-caverhill-9781646622825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
