Former U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo said of Root, \"To read [his] poems is to cup a breath in your hands. Within the breath are fervent promises of remembrance whispered from the wheel of death, marriages, birth-out of fury and love.\" Barry Lopez said, \"[Root's] poems, as quiet and knowledgeable as boulders, are run with compassion and longing . . . they break winter's back.\" And Nobel Prize winner Joseph Brodsky praised Root for a poem found in this collection saying, \"'The Unbroken Diamond' is an extremely strong piece of work . . . this country needs badly. As fast as I know you are the only poet in the whole U.S. who had heart enough to address this subject (the Soviet campaign in Afghanistan). Your lines . . . surely redeem this nation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Press 53","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47568361717911,"sku":"9781968783068","price":1558.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781968783068.webp?v=1774867789","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/courage-revising-the-text-9781968783068","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
