{"product_id":"9781882295388","title":"North True South Bright","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis smart, lyrical collection explores the dangers of a world so complex that no single consciousness may grasp it—however much the attempt must be made. Following historical and imagined figures as they encounter specific moments or objects (such as Thomas Hariot in the Ameri-can Wilderness of the late 16th century), the poems attempt to record the unraveling of the safe and singular into a multiplicity of unknowns. Impelled by metaphor and lilting repetition, \u003ci\u003eNorth True South Bright \u003c\/i\u003e seeks a sense of the world, and ultimately, a sense of the Infinite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eHariot’s Round\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eI know, to entice, to convince, I must sing\u003cbr\u003eYour ear inside stone, must sing\u003cbr\u003eGold bitten and true, the corn kernel, one seed,\u003cbr\u003e I must plant one gold seed in your mouth with my lips.\u003cbr\u003e Raleigh says: the Queen known my name.
