Risking unease, using language both tender and ironic, Zieroth's poems range from the cockiness of flight, from Dick and Jane readers to insurance clerks and blind nurses, and to the inevitability of decline. Still, the poet remains alert to the re-emergence of his boyhood hope: to be brave, to ship out, to learn to sleep on waves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Zieroth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550174681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550174687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harbour Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/25\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Governor General's Literary Awards - Winner","brand":"David Zieroth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445371908351,"sku":"9781550174687","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1becfce4-1487-4e08-a1a6-726d2c086560.jpg?v=1777218181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fly-in-autumn-david-zieroth-9781550174687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
