His work abounds with the imagery and motifs of water and fire, and while those elements are important here, it is air and earth that are the more dominant elements in this collection. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Clay, red clay in particular, recurs several times throughout the collection as a motif of earth. It is the substance of creation, but always of impermanent things, whether heroes or Babylonian statues with feet of clay, or of things durable but fragile, such as the cuneiform tablets of 'A Parking Lot Just Outside the Ruins of Babylon.'\"\u003cbr\u003e --Robert Philen, from the Foreword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reginald Shepherd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822961490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822961499\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 01\/30\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/21\/2011","brand":"Reginald Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926547169535,"sku":"9780822961499","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_007811a3-005d-45d6-9303-a2a38ca0fe84.jpg?v=1681083677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/red-clay-weather-reginald-shepherd-9780822961499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
