Keenly attuned to the precariousness of our existence in a fractured world—of “how little the world will spare us”—Gregerson explores the cruelty of human and political violence, such as the recent island massacre in Norway and “the current nightmare” of war and terrorism. And yet, running as a “counterpoint” to violence and cruelty is “The reigning brilliance \/ of the genome and \/ the risen moon . . . ,” “The \/ arachnid’s exoskeleton. The kestrel’s eye.” \u003cem\u003eThe Selvage\u003c\/em\u003e is the boldest evidence yet that Linda Gregerson’s unique combination of dramatic lyricism and fierce intelligence transcends current fashions to claim an enduring place in American poetry.","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366405046527,"sku":"9780547750095","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_676d0ed7-0d55-49fc-a866-1023f31442f1.jpg?v=1727070463","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780547750095","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
