Under the unfiltered glare, men live harsh lives marked by violent ritual, while women labor quietly and unceasingly. Kelley's portrayals are hardly one-dimensional, however. Her poems capture a complicated, beautiful interplay of human and natural forces. Each of her subjects, no matter how unforgiving the circumstances, \"grows into a desert bloom, fragile, beautiful, human.\"...Visual imagery complements the author's atmospheric photography...Kelley's unique explorations into the intersections of ecology and identity make her well worth the read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pat Kelley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1470024799\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781470024796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2012","brand":"Pat Kelley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890831454463,"sku":"9781470024796","price":10.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_077f762f-dd58-4965-ad61-d94cacc81af8.jpg?v=1709740152","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/poetry-from-the-desert-floor-pat-kelley-9781470024796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
