In poems shaped at the uneasy crossroads of imagination and lived experience, Karin Gottshall searches for solace in the charged spaces between them. \"I tell myself I can be content with the pleasures \/ permitted ghosts,\" she writes in \"Afterlife,\" \"but my body wakes up \/ leaking saltwater, and won't let my ghost-self be.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross the collection, poetic structure and the music of language become vessels for memory, philosophy, and ache. Generous in their formal range and attentive to both sound and silence, these poems resist tidy answers. The beauty of Gottshall's work arises from the steadiness of her gaze, and the startling precision of the images it lands on:\u003cbr\u003e \"Wide-open, staring eyes of the tiger \/ I drew and had to destroy because it wouldn't sleep.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe River Won't Hold You\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the places we fear most--the gaps, the afterlives, the undefinable spaces--can also be the ones that hold us.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51008318079249,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51008320798993,"sku":"NIN9780814251898","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52681130705169,"sku":"NLS9780814251898","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0814251897.jpg?v=1786135747"},{"product_id":"crocus-book-karin-gottshall-9780823227303","title":"Crocus","description":"WhetherAligned with the mechanismwhereby the spirit is borne aloftthrough song comes againthe question: whether.
