The poems in \u003ci\u003eTurn Up the Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e examine with an unflinching eye and mordant humor the reality of living and dying in a time and culture that conspire to erase our inner lives. Hoagland's signature wit and unparalleled observations take in long-standing injustices, the atrocities of American empire and consumerism, and our ongoing habit of looking away. In these poems, perseverance depends on a gymnastics of skepticism and comedy, a dogged quest for authentic connection, and the consolations of the natural world. \u003ci\u003eTurn Up the Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and moving collection, a fitting testament to Hoagland's devotion to the capaciousness and art of poetry.","brand":"Tony Hoagland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44116068892714,"sku":"9781644450925","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/0891\/6522\/files\/turn-up-the-ocean-poems-9701621.jpg?v=1771832465","url":"https:\/\/thepoetryshop.com\/products\/turn-up-the-ocean-poems","provider":"The Poetry Shop LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
