But\u003ci\u003e Making a Living \u003c\/i\u003eisn't just about the trappings of materialism--it's also about the fraught trials of trying to bring forth life in a double-dealing America where all sources are suspect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShrewdly balancing the likes of Scrooge McDuck and HGTV, ancient Roman haruspicy and the latest pregnancy technologies, this collection arcs ultimately toward reinhabiting the present, refusing to look away--on seeing as a method of prayer and a power against capitalism's threats to love, motherhood, reverence, and nature. Vigilant and profane, gentle and generous, full of desire and cunning, Moffett's poetry is a singular entry in our conversations around enduring modern life and daring to make new life in the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRosalie Moffett \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eNervous System\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the National Poetry Series Prize and was listed by the\u003ci\u003e New York Times \u003c\/i\u003eas a New and Notable book, and June in Eden.
