{"product_id":"night-snow-sally-nacker-9781947465244","title":"Night Snow","description":"If Emily Dickinson were to work in a flower shop, you would have Sally Nacker. Her poems are often about nature, small moments; her talent is the quiet observation: \"Gift me hope when grief is long; \/ grant me a little floating song\" (\"Prayer During Rain\"). Subtly, Nacker readjusts our expectations with her more muted approach: \"There will be no table in heaven, \/ I would think\" (\"During Stillness\"). Although she has been through sorrow, she is content with life on earth. After all, \"A poem's in a blade of grass\" (\"A Poem's in a Blade of Grass\"). Like W. S. Merwin (whose epigraph frames the book, and whose preoccupations mirror Nacker's), Emily Dickinson, and Walt Whitman, Nacker indicates that \"nature's Mass . . . awoke me to a holiness\" (\"A Poem's in a Blade of Grass\"). Nacker's gift, along with her metrical skill, is that she brings the reader along with her. \u003cp\u003e - Kim Bridgford, editor of Mezzo Cammin, and author of Doll \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In these quiet songlike poems there are moments, miracles, when language seems almost to become what it describes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Nacker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947465244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947465244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.07d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sally Nacker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442723500287,"sku":"9781947465244","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acd6e4bf-5adf-469a-8072-bdfb91508ea3.jpg?v=1777199332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/night-snow-sally-nacker-9781947465244","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
