{"product_id":"9780692370940","title":"The Burn Poems","description":"Strongin's language is muscular, challenging, disarming, and utterly unexpected as she journeys through childhood illness to the demands of age, circling, looking back, returning always to the body's insistent desires: \"The need roughens in me to have love. The way the paper has tooth.\" I have never read anything like it. -Rachel Rose, Poet Laureate, Vancouver, BC Lynn Strongin is a force of nature. -Chase Twichell, Winner of the 2011 Kingsley Tufts Award Fascinating work. -Alicia Ostriker, Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets Lynn Strongin has written a book that reintroduces us to ourselves, to the naked spirit of ourselves, and this accomplishment is very rare. In the shadow of her words, a cold wind kicks up. Then slowly, deftly, she weaves a 25-part hymn to steadfastness and grace, to a lifetime of physical deprivation, spiritual yearning and barely held-back exultation in each sensory gift. Each poem in \"Burn\" leaves its imprint, its scald-mark, on us. -Charles Ades Fishman, Winner of the 2012 New Millennium Award for Poetry \u0026amp; the 2014 Aesthetica Creative Writing Award for Poetry Strongin puts the verve back into verse. The acuity with which her older woman narrator investigates life is rare and invigorating. -Betsy Warland, Author of \"Breathing the Page: Reading the Act of Writing\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eLynn Strongin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eHeadmistress Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eMar 08, 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e64 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e0692370943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9780692370940\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Headmistress Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48461086490929,"sku":"9780692370940","price":14.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9780692370940.jpg?v=1709994518","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9780692370940","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
