In others, poems take the form of physical objects--a rock, split slate, an egg, a feather--or they emerge from a more expansive space--a salt flat at the Great Salt Lake, or a damaged woodlot. But regardless of the site, the source, or the material, the poet does not position herself as the innovator of these poems. Rather, the objects and landscapes we see in \u003cem\u003eTranslations from Bark Beetle \u003c\/em\u003eprovide the poet with both a shape and a language for each poem. The result is a collection that reminds us how to see and to listen, and which calls us to a deeper communion--true collaboration--between art and the more-than-human world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jody Gladding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1571314555\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Jody Gladding","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985168662783,"sku":"9781571314550","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_025585f4-033c-48bb-87f9-7703e6502746.jpg?v=1683275957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/translations-from-bark-beetle-jody-gladding-9781571314550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
