Landscapes in the book shift and jolt, melt into snowman slush or gash the flesh with matter-of-fact craters, thorns, rope burns, and rocks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poet wants to scrub the sharp peaks with steel wool but recognizes how millions of these violence-borne imprints have ganged up to keep her alive. In The Fastening, bodies are soft sketches that could detonate at the pop of a flashbulb, diffuse into a cloud of vapor, or escape into a small recess with just enough space to breathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Doxsee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1939568498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781939568496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Ocean\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Julie Doxsee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074280419583,"sku":"9781939568496","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b33f429f-c475-4a9b-a498-8097eae094d2.jpg?v=1685452841","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fastening-julie-doxsee-9781939568496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
