Beyond the productivity and excess, the sweetness and sting, \u003cem\u003eRequeening\u003c\/em\u003e brings together poems of motherhood and daughterhood, an evolving relationship of care and tending, responsibility and joy, dependence and deep love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems that anchor this collection don't shy away from the inevitability of a hive's collapse and consider the succession of \"requeening\" a hive as \"a new heart ready to be fed and broken and fed again.\" The collapse is both physical--there are poems of illness and recovery--and emotional, as the mother-daughter relationship shifts, the daughter becoming separate, whole, and poised to displace. The liminal spaces these poems traverse in human relationships is echoed in a range of poetic and hybrid form, offering freedom and stricture as they contemplate the way we hold one another in love and grief.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRequeening\u003c\/em\u003e is a vivid and surprising collection of poems from a winner of the National Poetry Series Open Competition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Moore\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0063096285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780063096288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/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 8.82h x 5.91w x 0.39d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/22\/2021","brand":"Amanda Moore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054956081407,"sku":"9780063096288","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e249901-9a49-4a41-b52d-6d5f1a090e09.jpg?v=1685032954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/requeening-amanda-moore-9780063096288","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
