{"product_id":"the-other-altar-9781885635914","title":"The Other Altar","description":"Nicholas Gulig's third collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Altar\u003c\/i\u003e, unearths a landscape where the experience of loss is both local and global, personal and political, here and far away. The speaker of these poems wanders in a world illumined at every turn by ghosts whose shape and form he hopes to language in a litany of books, one inside the other. Haunting these pages are the specter of a dead father and the racial violence of a specifically American time and place. Against this backdrop of abiding heartache, Gulig turns to those he loves and to whom he feels indebted--his wife and children, his friends, and to the ghosts of other writers, his literary ancestors--trusting that a language rooted beyond the borders of our collective isolation, a poetry formed upon the altar of other people, might guide the self in the direction of a reenchanted, less solitary experience of creation. \u003ci\u003eThe Other Altar\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that struggles on every page to remind the reader that grief and grace are intertwined, that liberation is a path we walk together, hand in hand and heart to heart, a place we speak into existence when the distance between word and world dissolves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Gulig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Colorado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Colorado Prize for Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781885635914","brand":"University Press of Colorado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43195580743817,"sku":"9781885635914","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_abbe5f2e-4d1a-45b5-a72e-db2c04f730b5.jpg?v=1733863187","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-other-altar-9781885635914","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
