{"product_id":"the-things-we-bring-with-s-g-huerta-9781733534574","title":"The Things We Bring with Us: Travel Poems","description":"Sassy, witty, and expectedly peregrine, these panoramic poems are sharp and personal. They seem to arise from above, even higher than where pigeons choose to dismantle their bowel movements. Well-researched and deftly written, these tightly controlled, prudent, perceptive, and expedient poems are capable of turning your inflamed heart into snow or a Renaissance painting or a Catholic Church.\u003cbr\u003e- Vi Khi Nao, judge of the Charlotte Mew Prize \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Things We Bring With Us: Travel Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is simply stunning. The poems span the world and confront the baggage we carry and also the baggage burdened on us by others' narrow definitions of self. Huerta's razor-eyed insights combined with their precise language make for a dazzling debut.\u003cbr\u003e- Charlotte Pence, author of \u003ci\u003eCode\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe poems in this chapbook debut tell stories I want to listen to. S.G. deftly writes of loneliness and feeling in-between, of traveling and searching for something in far-away places. It's a collection about being pulled in different directions, about finding oneself in traveling, but also in the places traveled-from. S.G. contemplates what they are drawn to and drawn from, carefully questioning the symmetry between the places they know well and the cities where they feel like a stranger. These powerful poems are queer and quiet, but ring loud with language, family, love, and eager movement through an unfamiliar world.\u003cbr\u003e- Sara Ryan, author of \u003ci\u003eI Thought There Would Be More Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e S.
