Salter shows too how imagination collapses time and space: in \"Island Diaries,\" the pragmatist Robinson Crusoe meets on the beach a shipwrecked dreamer from an earlier century, Shakespeare's Prospero. Poems that meditate on objects--a silk blouse, a hot water bottle--address the human need to heal and console. Our paradoxically solitary but communal experiences find expression, too, in poems about art, from a Walker Evans photograph to a gilded Giotto altarpiece. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these beautiful new poems, Salter directs us to moments we may otherwise miss, reminding us that alertness is itself a form of gratitude.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Jo Salter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.91w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593321317","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45175700652169,"sku":"9780593321317","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_fdfce194-17ca-480a-b24a-e32801b7c883.jpg?v=1768892440","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/zoom-rooms-poems-9780593321317","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
