{"product_id":"mimosas-at-sunset","title":"Mimosas at Sunset","description":"\u003cp\u003eSharon M. Carter's poems speak of a close attention to the world around her. She writes of a living, breathing otherness that feels like worship. There's a mystical thread throughout her work, while at the same time botany appears as a consultant. Science is this poet's first love, made clear in the carefully chosen facts that dance in and out of these incredibly lovely poems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Pamela Moore Dionne, author of \u003cem\u003eParadox and Illusion\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTaut Caesuras\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese spiky but tender poems grow from a complex root system slowly exposed as we read them. Describing the terror of a difficult childbirth, or commenting on a corrupt culture-tell me, when has money made anyone honest?-Carter uses myth and emotion to wrap us in a vine of beauty, memory, and brutal decay. Common flowers and vegetation become metaphors for larger concerns and expand our world exponentially.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Gayle Kaune, author of \u003cem\u003eAll the Birds Awake\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNoise from Stars\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moonpath Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54418517360945,"sku":"9781970256024","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0838\/3922\/2065\/files\/imageloader_9672527a-fe95-46bb-ba14-97220e1685eb.jpg?v=1780536315","url":"https:\/\/bainbridgeisland.press\/products\/mimosas-at-sunset","provider":"Bainbridge Island Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
