It gives doubt a hearing, finding resilience in fragility and grace in unexpected places.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe poems assembled in \u003ci\u003eOrion Sweeping\u003c\/i\u003e take nothing at face value. What are we to make of a radioactive souvenir, a shape-shifting dog, landscapes made strange by time? The speakers gathered here seek to set the record straight: a mink gives advice; a wolf disputes a rumour; a photographer zooms in on a kill; a military strategist gives lessons in peace. But the sum of the evidence is not bleak. A baby arrives as robustly as a whale; the solidarity of marriage is enacted in surprising ways; father and daughter share a gift for reprieve. Under the penetrating gaze of these poems, beauty and tenderness come quietly into view.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anne Marie Todkill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278414000379,"sku":"9781771315692","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781771315692.jpg?v=1772486319","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/orion-sweeping-9781771315692","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
