{"product_id":"night-snow-book-sally-nacker-9781947465244","title":"Night Snow","description":"If Emily Dickinson were to work in a flower shop, you would have Sally Nacker. Her poems are often about nature, small moments; her talent is the quiet observation: Gift me hope when grief is long; \/ grant me a little floating song (Prayer During Rain). Subtly, Nacker readjusts our expectations with her more muted approach: There will be no table in heaven, \/ I would think (During Stillness). Although she has been through sorrow, she is content with life on earth. After all, A poem's in a blade of grass (A Poem's in a Blade of Grass). Like W. S. Merwin (whose epigraph frames the book, and whose preoccupations mirror Nacker's), Emily Dickinson, and Walt Whitman, Nacker indicates that nature's Mass . . . awoke me to a holiness (A Poem's in a Blade of Grass). Nacker's gift, along with her metrical skill, is that she brings the reader along with her. \u003cp\u003e - Kim Bridgford, editor of Mezzo Cammin, and author of Doll \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In these quiet songlike poems there are moments, miracles, when language seems almost to become what it describes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54651079196945,"sku":"NIN9781947465244","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781947465244.jpg?v=1789230815","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/night-snow-book-sally-nacker-9781947465244","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
