Force by which a line unfurls--as in Robert Smithson's colossal Spiral Jetty--or leads with forward motion--a train hurdling along the west-reaching railroad; Edweard Muybridge's photographic reels charting animal and human locomotion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith poems remarkable in their clarity, captivating in their matter-of-factness, Keith examines the impossible and inevitable privacy of being a person in the world, meanwhile negotiating an inexorable pull toward the places we call home--one we alternately try and fail to resist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Keith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.80w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314482","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42968933859465,"sku":"9781571314482","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_dccb6f44-a3ec-4a53-9bf7-f4bb7531d74a.jpg?v=1725946947","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-fact-of-the-matter-9781571314482","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
