In this gem of a poetry book, she'll riff on owls and geese, brutality and bliss, even a city named Be Careful. A visual artist herself, she'll reference Van Gogh and Kahlo and others. This is a serious poet who reads aloud to herself each poem she writes, hoping it \"purrs like the motor \/ of a baby's dream.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eNolan Zavoral\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Heretic Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Season on the Mat\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWriter and artist Ann Iverson works in words, paint, and fabric, but her true medium is surprise. In this new collection of poems, Iverson offers readers a cornucopia of surprises, line after line and page after page. Vivid images, startling ideas, and potent stories populate these poems. Through Iverson's eyes, shadows \"are more perfect \/ than what precedes them,\" God does magic tricks with a cousin, and \"the living will believe in anything.\" \"I am tired of perfection,\" she declares, inviting us all to \"just love the flaw of it all.\" Indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eLee Colin Thomas\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, author, \u003ci\u003e\u003ci\u003eHoney in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Iverson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163980854X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639808540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelsay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Ann Iverson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437653700863,"sku":"9781639808540","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d78646fd-5f77-4639-ad85-bc3a91862fa2.jpg?v=1777163184","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sound-of-heart-is-ann-iverson-9781639808540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
