A forest is interrupted by a graveyard of Bob's Big Boy statuettes; ruling cockroaches populate a nuclear fall-out film; lichen becomes litter; a horse and farrier practice their choreography, as he \"let s] her lean on him, her hips cocked, almost delicate.\" These poems teem with litany, landscape, literal and figurative image; an awareness of mortality hovers, not so much afterlife as underlife. Menting has a gift for moody and luminous phrasing: \"For some, the world is wood tick wicked.\" There's magic to a collection that does such heavy lifting with a light touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e --Sandra Beasley\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 13, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42738049941567,"sku":"9780998215914","price":20.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/d1769422a43fb0d5d821a1090b474098.webp?v=1765151968","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/leaves-surface-like-skin-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
