Hopkins to write sonnets that banish conventions of form, structure, \u0026amp; meter, while creating new parameters within which to start, stop, surge, yield, twist, turn, open, close. These poems beg to be spoken aloud; each finds a singular cadence, tension, perspective, to bring to the natural world fresh and sometimes unusual voices (a poem in the voice of a praying mantis? ...vulture? ...whippoorwill?) Bit by bit, they work from the observed and\/or fantasized, to get to the internal, the personal, to a celebratory grief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsa Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 195058495X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950584956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Green Writers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Elsa Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982206304511,"sku":"9781950584956","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_babaeb91-751f-4182-9269-c49783b51ea2.jpg?v=1683259837","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wind-speaks-elsa-johnson-9781950584956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
