{"product_id":"spirit-engine-9781894078634","title":"Spirit Engine","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Donlan's lyric work seeks the connection between lives—not just the life of a coyote and the life of a man, or the peaceful cacophony of a pond in summer and the life of the human listener—but between the life before birth, and the life after. He reveals the wilderness to us moment by moment, while simultaneously driving us back into our own nature—a process readers, lifted by Donlan's imagery, rhythms, and insights, can only experience as pure pleasure. Here beauty is the engine that enspirits the mind, freeing us from contemporary despair and the illusion we've left nature behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\"In my slow-burning archive orange hawkweed\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ethrives in granite-charactered soil\u003cbr\u003espalled off the basement stone,\u003cbr\u003ea beaver labours up her steep skid road\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003elogging poplar for food and shelter,\u003cbr\u003ewind drives rivers of ripples down a pond.\u003cbr\u003eEverything here knows what to do.\u003cbr\u003eLike a bogus boiler inspector\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eI investigate every valve, work and rework\u003cbr\u003enotes to husks, skeletal remains,\u003cbr\u003esurvivors who revive experience.\u003cbr\u003eI try to memorize, to make some pictures\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eto walk into, in the final time\u003cbr\u003e\nwhen I can't walk or hear or see, and see\u003cbr\u003elake-cradling pink granite, its orange earth,\u003cbr\u003eits skin of lives flickering, flickering.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—\"Devil's Paintbrush\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Donian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278408331515,"sku":"9781894078634","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781894078634.jpg?v=1772487900","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/spirit-engine-9781894078634","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
