The poems in \u003ci\u003eAxe Handles\u003c\/i\u003e reveal the roots of community in the family, and also explore the transmission of cultural values and knowledge. Above all, these are poems about language--that is, language as the preeminent manifestation of culture. In the title poem, we read: \"I am an axe \/ And my son a handle, soon \/ To be shaping again, model \/ And tool, craft of culture, \/ How we go on.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52338779324704,"sku":"USED0865471193","price":13.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81R0GjjW4KL.jpg?v=1789106451","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/axe-handles-poems-0865471193-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
