I want to love you \/ so much that you have no before.\" These poems chase a singular, thorny question: how does where and who we came from shape who and how we love? Judge Ada Lim says the resulting collection is \"hungry, clear-eyed, tough, and generous.\"Scarano's imagination is galvanized by the South where she grew up and by the Pacific Northwest where she now resides-floods and wildfires, the Salish Sea and the North Cascades, and the humans and animals whose lives intersect and collide there. In this collection, Scarano reckons with a legacy of violence on both sides of their family, the death of their estranged father, the unraveling of long-term relationships, the complexity of their sexuality, and the decision not to have children. With fierce lyricality, these poems--\"stories without monsters, \/ stories without morals\"--resist both redemption and blame, yet call in mercy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caitlin Scarano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1949467783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781949467789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.80h x 4.90w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/08\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2022 pg. 92","brand":"Caitlin Scarano","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987092537599,"sku":"9781949467789","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b81e995d-7558-40a6-9c03-e1fe07e1bfab.jpg?v=1683286962","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-necessity-of-wildfire-caitlin-scarano-9781949467789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
