The longest series, \"Dust Cover,\" is a meditation on deserts of all kinds--geographic, urban, celestial, domestic, and linguistic. The poems themselves enact their own ideas of space and emptiness, building to a work that grain after grain becomes heavy as a whole. In contrast, the title sequence \"The Book of Marys and Glaciers\" is an expansive work of feminist ecopoetics that asks questions about the role of women as mothers, religious figures, friends, and lovers in a society that rarely makes room for quietude anymore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Altogether, the poems are controlled, precise investigations and interrogations of the ideas and images we take for granted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carrie Olivia Adams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1961209543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781961209541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tupelo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Carrie Olivia Adams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137213706495,"sku":"9781961209541","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_069cef8a-62a6-414e-86d9-3fff44a5e8ee.jpg?v=1770167324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-book-of-marys-and-carrie-olivia-adams-9781961209541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
