{"product_id":"breaker","title":"Breaker","description":"SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2009 PAT LOWTHER MEMORIAL AWARD\nSHORTLISTED FOR THE ATLANTIC CANADA POETRY PRIZE\nSue Sinclair is the director inheritor of the great early 20th Century German poet, Rilke: she possesses intense lyrical vision, steeped in wonder at the existence of the world, and a kind of grief at our inability to lose ourselves in it completely. Her perception is acutely focused and rigorous; and she is acutely self-aware. She is not afraid of words like \"beauty\" or \"being,\" yet, because of the intensity of her vision, she never uses them as clichés. Her gift for metaphor is astonishing and may remind some readers of the young Roo Borson.\n\"You cross the heat-ridden ground, the sweet, brittle scent\nof sage rising underfoot. So easy to pretend a single word\nwill occur to you, and that it will do all the good\nanyone could hope. The earth is parched and lonely,\nrelies on dignity to protect it. Each thing hanging\nby the thread of itself. Bleating crickets. Rustle of dry stalks.\nThe silence pushes you toward yourself:\nIt's time to walk deep into the heart of what troubles you.\"\n―from \"Drought\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1894078667\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1894078667.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sinclair, Sue\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
