At times reading these poems I felt as if the Lady of Shallot had returned in the twenty-first century to speak to us again of the shadow world of personal isolation. Redoute makes us feel that there's hope, that through the discipline of poetry we can force the shards of broken glass into focus and find our whole reflections again.\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cstrong\u003eMaura Stanton\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of\u003cem\u003e Immortal Sofa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poems in Karolyn Redoute's new collection, \u003cem\u003eWhispers from the Aural World\u003c\/em\u003e, are powerful and evocative. They deal honestly with family, with the people and places of childhood, with the weight of memory. They ask the reader to confront all the things said, and left unsaid, to look into mirrors and through windows, within and without, in hope of movement towards healing.\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Pfeiffer\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eBend, Break\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Inexhaustible Before\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProphecy and memory exist on the same plane in \u003cem\u003eWhispers from the Aural World\u003c\/em\u003e by Karolyn Redoute. Children pause in the space between hours, a father drives a house like a car, and a staircase patiently anticipates turning into a story. With homegrown mysticism, Redoute discovers magic in the corners of rooms and in the corners of the mind, building a delicate bridge across childhood loss and wonder to an adult understanding of identity.\u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cstrong\u003eJames Cihlar\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Shadowgraph\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karolyn Redoute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1632100347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632100344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plain View Press, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.17d","brand":"Karolyn Redoute","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445462413567,"sku":"9781632100344","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_952c46e6-6e16-4791-9fb3-fde2a1b26f4f.jpg?v=1777218698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whispers-from-the-aural-world-karolyn-redoute-9781632100344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
