{"product_id":"my-wilderness-maxine-scates-9780822966630","title":"My Wilderness: Poems","description":"The poems of \u003ci\u003eMy Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e often take place on the wooded hillside in Oregon where Maxine Scates has lived since the mid-1970s. They chronicle how the woods, which were once a refuge, have turned into a landscape of change where trees once numerous are now threatened by storm and the presence of the humans who live among them. These poems also engage her partner's threatening illness, the death of her closest friend, and the death, at age one hundred, of her mother, an indomitable figure who led Scates through a working-class childhood in Los Angeles fraught with domestic violence. Grounded in the shifting borders of migrations and extinctions plant, animal, and human, of memory and grief, \u003ci\u003eMy Wilderness\u003c\/i\u003e inevitably asks us to consider not only our own mortality but also our impact on the world around us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maxine Scates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822966638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822966630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/22\/2021","brand":"Maxine Scates","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44050540626175,"sku":"9780822966630","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b17128da-b9dd-4c13-ade0-789c88e7f31a.jpg?v=1685007837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-wilderness-maxine-scates-9780822966630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
