Prepare yourself to be beguiled in the fantastic orgy of words that flow from Anastacia Burns in her supreme worship of the intricacies of this universe we humans have made. From explorations of the interior world of a flower, the secret life of pumpkins and snowmen, to the divine play of the cosmos, Anastacia Burns' poetry extravagantly interweaves the sublime and the horrific until we submit to the play of the dark and the light, the yin and the yang,that exists at the core of all existence.A sample from \u003ci\u003eThe Voyager\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAm I you,\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eare you me,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe who live above\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe Village of the Dead,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhere wrinkled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ebleary eyed crooked trees\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshed their starry manes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, I have dared not travel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epast to future\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHave not stared\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeath\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein his eyeless eyes,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eseen through his cavernous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolem pool\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ereflections,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edrank in these secrets,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eso only you would know.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO my brother\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efed the x-ray blast\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof a dying star\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eso you need not eat\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand do not grow,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI fade to know,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhen will I die?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the baby Bodhi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egreen dimpled twilight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efor his missing friend\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof young\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis old.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the sapphire jeweled\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eheron\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat waits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon one reed leg,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewith crashing splash\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003espills the quick silver\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edarting fish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estored in her beak,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethat glimmering\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efish tail swish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003escaling up\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe never ending night.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd from \u003ci\u003eI,Lazarus (Homage to Bast)\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI, Lazarus, bleeding roses, annealed by age, into shielding thorns. Supplication sustained, by the confluent voices, of the legs, sheathed beneath glittering double fish tail, spindrift salient mermaids. Siren soprano, luminous phosphorous rising, over the merciless, nacre reliquary, green sheen matutinal, nocturnal, cat's cradle rocking sea. Apace in each rip tooth age, sheltered by crannies and nooks. And the maverick candor of those graced with kindness; the boon of a magenta bloom, survives in every anemic age.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"River Sanctuary Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049126740208,"sku":"9781935914235","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781935914235_p0.jpg?v=1763658232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781935914235","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
