They carry variant voices, whispers like dramatic asides, and mind-expanding assertions as they reveal their layers and nuances. Bedient confronts disasters of politics, love, and faithless time, never turning away from the glinting axe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This collection also includes new poems that are direct in dealing with the difficulties of keeping faith through life. They recognize that making something--for instance, poetry--is necessary to coach the world into realness and render oneself real in the process, a journey of both intensive investigation and creativity. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Cal Bedient","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44485068914730,"sku":"9781632432131","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/imageloader_68ed0a6f-d809-4a27-bd5b-460341c3d54f.jpg?v=1781994584","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/clouds-upside-down-among-the-flowers-new-selected","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
