This is a writer who loves the places and the people she writes about. With \u003cem\u003eFree Ticket\u003c\/em\u003e, there is a strong emotional punch right at the beginning, a sense of loss and grief, that comes back in \u003cem\u003eAt the Cafe During WeFest\u003c\/em\u003e. There are poems that hearken back to childhood and ground us. We are invited into the writer's world, traveling the back roads of northern Minnesota, listening to church bells in a rural town, and watching seagulls follow the plow, seemingly ordinary events with revealing angles exposed by the poet's eye. In the juxtaposition between\u003cem\u003e Tornado\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eOne Perfect Summer Evening\u003c\/em\u003e, Belar suggests how art and community can help us get past devastation. Beginning to end, page by page, \u003cem\u003eRural Score\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a poet who writes because she loves this place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lina Belar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635342465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635342468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Finishing Line Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.08d","brand":"Lina Belar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442464600319,"sku":"9781635342468","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_924b9fad-c7dc-4cb1-b23f-cc4f928ed1d4.jpg?v=1777197586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rural-score-lina-belar-9781635342468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
