In these poems, hope is a meticulous, meditative state--a method of forensic searching and study that is carried with great care across generations. By stitching her raging images together with stillness and poise, Popa asks us to step back from our panic and look: \"peeling back the hair, that quiet, necessary artifice, \/ to reveal a nesting doll of impulses.\" --Caroline Bird\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Maya Catherine Popa's \u003cem\u003eYou Always Wished the Animals Would Leave, \u003c\/em\u003efeathers are unfulfilled parables, a hen's eggs turn a vicious red, and a super moon \"blooms a tyranny of flowers.\" A helix of histories lies threaded to both the present day and the various magics of night. These poems are smart and lush, and at the end of each of them my heart, mind, and ear argue over which was lavished with the most pleasure. I am enchanted by this book, in its thrall, its bright gravity, its terribilitá. --Traci Brimhall\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maya Catherine Popa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934832650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934832653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Maya Catherine Popa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996454748415,"sku":"9781934832653","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9e736c29-db34-4cca-8bcc-bc1dcd19e140.jpg?v=1683341791","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/you-always-wished-the-animals-maya-catherine-popa-9781934832653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
