{"product_id":"accommodations","title":"Accommodations","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The consciousness that reigns in these poems is hurricane-proof, bulletproof, heartache-proof. And, lucky for us, this is the consciousness of our tour guide throughout this often heart-breaking volume. Again and again, with a\u003cbr\u003e grace and acceptance that reminds us of the strength of human beings, these poems examine the often-blurred line between what will happen in our lives--and what we can make happen. Carey's poetic breath becomes the reader's\u003cbr\u003e life-breath--a parity that only the best of poems can offer.\"\u003cbr\u003e --M.B.

She\u003cbr\u003e meditates on 'the long valediction' of a fully lived life and comes to artful terms with the repercussions of love and mortality in poems that ring true and resonate. Breathe the slow wind, she writes, another storm is always\u003cbr\u003e coming. We know it in our bones, and we see it again and again in these lovely measures.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Sidney Wade, author of \u003cem\u003eBird Book \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eStraits \u0026amp; Narrows\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This collection starts off with an ache that pulls a reader in uncontrollably\u003cbr\u003e with sorrow and beauty. It is a tremendous manuscript that begs to be read\u003cbr\u003e over and over. Organic in the purest sense. Anyone encountering these\u003cbr\u003e poems will be stunned.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Amy MacLennan, Chapbook Award Judge, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Body, A Tree\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sarah Carey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44062856675370,"sku":"9780996475495","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/accommodations-9518807.jpg?v=1770619512","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/accommodations","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
