{"product_id":"noctilucent-melissa-buckheit-9781848612150","title":"Noctilucent","description":"The poems in Noctilucent begin where light exists or is created in darkness, a paradox. But this is not a 'dark \/ light' of metaphor, but of the real and of relationship, where algae illumines the deep sea, the light of dead stars reach us from deep space, and night is a doorway, an entrance into the interior-of self, other, cosmos. Melissa Buckheit bridges human experience-personal, historical, social-into this space where the very thing which is invisible or hidden, must be spoken. There is no Truth-but truths, identity, eros, suffering, loss gleam along the interstices of the lyric as meaning embedded in a strange and musical syntax. We are surprised, as if by a pale-white, fragrant Datura blooming unforgivingly in the dark of night, by her intimacy and electric force. In Noctilucent, the beloved is every human body, a decaying salmon, or the lilts of a lover's voice-our human devotion to memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Buckheit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184861215X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848612150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.19d","brand":"Melissa Buckheit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440075026687,"sku":"9781848612150","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56de326a-a0b4-48fd-bce4-ba25a01b63a9.jpg?v=1777180272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/noctilucent-melissa-buckheit-9781848612150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
