Cavanagh is a dual citizen who lives near the U.S.\/Canadian line; the poems suggest that we are all border dwellers. They probe the inner\/outer balance we all struggle to maintain. They straddle the challenges of daily life, try to reconcile contradictions, and find a measure of grace. Whether dealing with love, the environment, loss of loved ones, gun violence, frozen lakes, Canada-U.S. relations, or email from God, the poems brim with fresh language and clear vision. David Cavanagh lives in Burlington, Vermont. \"Cavanagh's best poems achieve not only clarity but also a poignancy that derives from simple wisdom expressed with great vividness and grace.\"--World Literature Today\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47137609285801,"sku":"PHBK-9781910669082","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/7445103482868.jpg?v=1780331883","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/straddle","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
