In the Salt is part love song to a child, part homage to Homer's Penelope. If \"Motherhood is a kind of wildness, a loosening,\" we find in these poems a painful, tentative hope, the world pulled to tatters by crisis, each morning the threads taken up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Bethany Reid, author of 2023 Sally Albiso Award Winner \u003cem\u003eThe Pear Tree: elegy for a farm\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the Salt\u003c\/em\u003e is one of those rarest experiences that haunts the reader long after setting the book aside. Finding its nexus in the voices of Homer's Nausica� and Penelope, this collection engages the myths of the female body, of childbirth, motherhood, of desire. And yet, Caitlin Dwyer somehow makes songs of it all. Songs a mother sings to know she is living. Songs a mother sings to keep others alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Kevin Goodan, author of \u003cem\u003eSpot Weather Forecast\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith courage and lyric power, Caitlin Dwyer celebrates and suffers a landscape made luminous by the birth of a son who hovers perilously close to dying. Here is a singular terrain of the psyche, the natural world, and the mythic. These poems give off a rare, striking light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Greg Glazner, author of \u003cem\u003eSingularity \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eFrom the Iron Chair\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moonpath Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47594797236375,"sku":"9781970256000","price":1382.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781970256000.webp?v=1774987183","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-the-salt-9781970256000","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
