Her long, elegantly quizzical lines convey a haunted vision of human striving which is in part an elaboration on our daily reality, and in part a fantastic departure from it. I can almost taste the glassy air, she writes. Where are the birds in it, \/ wings lifting as currents buffet them like echoes, bright \/ chaos of atomized instances . . . ? Roaming freely in the shifting landscape of the imagination, Sheck delivers an inner life that is just as vivid as what we see around us; at the same time, she shows us what we see in a new light, bringing illumination even to darkness:Its the black night that wakes in me,so dominant, so focused.And then a car goes by and I think,Im in the world,tires kicking up gravel from the dust.What does the orange hawkweed doinside this dark-its radiancesecretive but not extinguished?To read this collection is to discover at every turn that secretive but undeniable radiance, and a language that is both riveting and distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819457970464,"sku":"NEW0375709657","price":20.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61_Ef0krwHL.jpg?v=1781132914","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/black-series-poems-0375709657","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
