This new book presents moving portraits of a gallery of characters from North America, from homeless men to a wildlife illustrator, from a mother struggling to pay the rent to a generous stove repairman. Poems that skewer the vanities and complacency of the powerful sit alongside works about loss, love, and resilience written from the author's perspective as a cancer patient. Stephen Burt has compared Partridge's \"impressive poems\" to Elizabeth Bishop's. With her “flawless ear” (Jacqueline Osherow) and “pitch-perfect verse” (Ken Babstock), Partridge reveals again the “unfeigned passion” and “ardent, compassionate, and unsentimental vision” that have made her books “thrilling, memorable.” (Robert Pinsky)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058978570480,"sku":"9781770899797","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781770899797_p0.jpg?v=1763708347","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781770899797","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
