{"product_id":"thunderhead-daye-phillippo-9781639820696","title":"Thunderhead","description":"The lyric poems in Daye Phillippo's radiant debut collection Thunderhead explore faith, motherhood, family, and community. As the author has put it, she has lived her life \"\"backwards,\"\" first raising a large family, then going back to school, and only now seeing her work find its way into print. Rooted in Midwestern farm country near where she grew up, these place-based poems reflect a spiritual practice: searching for--and expecting to find--the sacred in the ordinary world of trees and weeds and seasons. Here you will find red-rooted pigweed and red-wing blackbirds, cornfields, woods, streams, gardens, and the creatures (human and otherwise) who inhabit them, in addition to a wide night sky filled with stars, and the ancient underground river, the Teays, that throbs and flows beneath them all. During a thunderstorm, Phillippo wonders: \"\"what if, \/ in choosing words to ponder we choose \/ our countenance, too?\"\" The poems in this collection offer us not only a compelling self-portrait, but a mirror in which we may better see who we are and might become.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daye Phillippo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1639820698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781639820696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Slant Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Daye Phillippo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981920993535,"sku":"9781639820696","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2845c629-20e4-4ed0-a872-b3b86934592d.jpg?v=1683258264","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thunderhead-daye-phillippo-9781639820696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
