Manuel Paul López writes that it's \"a vibrant collection populated with lives 'drinking carbon out of the sky.' We confront an environmental logic here where 'each day...[is] swabbed in light.' Gomery's poetry consists of ache and wail; outrage and grief; love and tenderness, and most abundantly evident, the immense compassion that this poet delivers in a sweeping, resuscitative vision that honors both life and death.\" Lillian-Yvonne Bertram says, \"In the long tradition of poems about grief, Gomery is a necessary voice. This is an exquisite study in the suddenness of numbered days and the radiant pain of living with love 'tumbling forth.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378375295199,"sku":"9781943899050","price":20.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/vG3Ds26kb89781943899050.webp?v=1789254537"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/monica-gomery.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
