The language wings its way between funny and serious, poignant and morbid, while always drawing parallels between the poets thoughts and the cameras eye. From peahens telling off their elaborately festooned romantic partners, robins empty eggs recalling air raid tests after WWII, to seagulls serving as harbingers of humanity's ongoing crimes against nature, each unit of photography melds seamlessly with its poetic doppelgänger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.newestpress.com\/products\/kink-bands?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=864125971\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eKink Bands \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eby \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/newestpress.com\/authors\/david-martin\"\u003eDavid Martin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn his second book of poems, David Martin digs deep into an examination of the world using the lens of geology. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith lyrically experimental poems expanding and retracting, this collection finds sonic and conceptual energy from the perspective of deep time and the geological forces that have shaped and continue to shape the Earth. Enacting seismic shifts, catastrophes, and erosions throughout the natural and cultural worlds, Martin’s poetic practice pushes forward to contend with the contemporary environmental changes and the structure of the Anthropocene that affect how we live in the twenty-first century. The collection veers from the Rocky Mountains and explorations of “fossilized” towns to family histories and myth-soaked theories, all while seeking a balance between disruptive poetic techniques and the centred lyrical voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.newestpress.com\/products\/rump-flank?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=f7607fa22\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003e\u003cem\u003erump + flank \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eby \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/newestpress.com\/authors\/carol-harvey-steski\"\u003eCarol Harvey Steski\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCarol Harvey Steski's \u003c\/span\u003etenacious and unapologetic debut,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003erump + flank\u003c\/em\u003e, explores the body in nature’s many incarnations: human, animal, plant, microbe, even chemical. The result is a fantastical poetic work that sheds light on what bodies—especially female ones—endure, probing the full range of experiences from pleasure and hope to deep loss and trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese poems are piercingly humorous, sexy, and peppered with startling absurdities, but are grounded by an undercurrent of nostalgia (and a soupçon of feminist rage): mercury reproduces like funhouse mirrors, oysters are whole notes dropped into eternal song, cancer is a surly character taking and discarding lovers, a domestic chore turns dark as a mother channels her inner Lady Macbeth. Lush imagery melds with organic rhythms to spawn a visceral experience, a tendon-and-muscle-driven engine that readers can feel racing within their own bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NeWest Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48382403215615,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/7588\/1215\/files\/PoetryBundle1_9c6ef913-65a8-4ead-b0e9-af685d272c81.jpg?v=1775675416","url":"https:\/\/bookshop.newestpress.com\/products\/poetry-bundle-1","provider":"NeWest Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
