A \"pickin' party\" in Kentucky, a saxophone's wail, the loss of a beloved brother, complex love of birthplace - all this and more is explored in poems rich with lyric invention and suggestion. Evocative color images of Webster's multi-media visual art add a soulful, non-verbal dimension to the depth, beauty and music of Webster's yearnings and vivid perspectives.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\"O, what a wonderful book! -- sometimes quirky and exuberant; sometimes tender, elegiac; sometimes dark, raw. But always Sharon Webster notices things: the family house exactly somewhere between a tobacco field and suburbia. And the crows! A tree cries\/ through the night\/ swollen with crows.\"\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;-Sue D.

In this land where the soft white ghost of our cat\/ comes back to watch at the window, Sharon Webster dissolves the boundaries between art and music, making room for the words\/ in our laps\/ like warm nets. She flows through the nature of cloth, through intimate grief of losing a bluegrass-infused brother, past ancestors in the mirror, to alight on branches heavy with crows. Webster's lyricism is a treasured friend from whom You can part company and not be gone.\"\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;-Cindy Ellen Hill, author of Love in a Time of Climate Change, Wild Earth, and Elegy for the Trees\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081773367465,"sku":"PHBK-9781967022120","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/9259683482888.jpg?v=1779378360","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/needs-metadata-9781967022120","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
