But Miette's beloved adoptive father makes a deathbed request that the two be reunited: You have to do it. Promise me you will not change your mind. I know that you've heard sickening things and those things are all true, but I'm sure she wants to know you. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet in the Badlands of the North American West in the late 1800s, \u003ci\u003eIn Calamity's Wake\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Miette's quest across a landscape occupied by strangers, ghosts, and animals.

Grappling with #MeToo, climate change and political unrest, Caple gives us poems to help us re-envision our society and recreate our relationships with all who share this earth with us, human and non-human alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eLOVE IN THE CHTHULUCENE (CTHULHUCENE)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLove in the Chthulucene (Cthulhucene) is a gesture of tentacular tenderness, wry-hooked, affirming relations even across rupture. More than poetry, more than portraits, Caple gives us a gift of practice itself; a practice of intimacy, finding all the soft-bodied and monstrous capacities of moments. - Soraya Peerbaye, author of \u003ci\u003eTell: Poems for a Girlhood\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNatalee Caple offers a poetry collection that is an authentic, many tentacled gift in a time defined by disconnection, manipulation and greed. There is the generative present of Caple's exploration of the 'poem as gift, ' and the compassion, brilliance and strangeness with which she searches and invents. There are her many poetic gifts - her vision, music and border-pushing zeal - and her ability to urge us to challenge and share, to question and thank, to give and not give in. - Daniel Scott Tysdal, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Mourner's Book of Albums\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50402539438353,"sku":"CIN1928088791G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1928088791.jpg?v=1751061568"},{"product_id":"more-tender-ocean-book-natalee-caple-9781552450574","title":"A More Tender Ocean","description":"Natalee Caple made quite a splash with her first two books, The Heart is its Own Reason, a short-story collection from Insomniac Press, and The Plight of Happy People in an Ordinary World, a novel from House of Anansi Press.  With A More Tender Ocean Caple turns her hand to poetry, and the results are no less dazzling. The poems were written using a Surrealist technique called automatic writing -- a kind of poetic impressionism after speed-reading. The effect is a kind of dreamlike state -- everything isn't quite as it should be, as though it had all been seen through the facet of a diamond. The poems are lyrical, erotic, gentle, happy, sad and strangely beautiful.  A More Tender Ocean is unusual but immensely moving and compelling, tender but not maudlin. 'What goes on seems ordinary,' writes Caple. Rest assured, it is not.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50697518547217,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50697522217233,"sku":"NGR9781552450574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52684471435537,"sku":"NLS9781552450574","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1552450570.jpg?v=1751086883"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-ie\/collections\/author-books-by-natalee-caple.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
