{"product_id":"the-marriage-of-space-and-time-9781936657421","title":"The Marriage of Space and Time","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"These poems find the strange and beautiful in everyday moments: visiting a\u003cbr\u003e deli, flying on a plane, sitting on the back steps, noticing a stray cottonwood\u003cbr\u003e tuft, recalling a walk with a child now grown. In this poet's gaze, each element\u003cbr\u003e of the quotidian becomes particular, luminous, and finally, universal. This\u003cbr\u003e effect comes from fresh and powerful imagery; from surprising diction, \u003cbr\u003e uniquely-apt words used in new ways, as in 'each of us \/ hung out to die, a\u003cbr\u003e wish out of water.' The poems move with a freedom born of familiarity with\u003cbr\u003e meter and rhyme, and the lines reverberate with subtle music.\"\u003cbr\u003e --Rebecca Foust, Marin County Poet Laureate and\u003cbr\u003e author of \u003cem\u003eParadise Drive\u003c\/em\u003e, winner of the Press 53 Award for Poetry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"\u003cem\u003eThe Marriage of Space and Time\u003c\/em\u003e is more often than not local in its concerns, \u003cbr\u003e even intimate.
