Chad Campbell’s first book of poetry is a brilliant investigation, at once dazzling and unflinching, into the way our predecessors bear on our choices in the present, and how present-day consequences extend backwards in time. A skilled, self-possessed and clear-eyed poet, Campbell has produced a work of art that, while not quite confessional, transforms the private, dark, often stigmatized regions of his life into powerful poetry. It is a bracing debut. “Come now to the burning forest \/ not burning anymore and feel \/ safe enough.”","brand":"Véhicule Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175755268336,"sku":"9781550654110","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781550654110_p0.jpg?v=1763752808","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781550654110","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
