{ "item_title" : "Lung Deep Country", "item_author" : [" Lydia Renfro "], "item_description" : "From the husk-haunted American Southern Plains to a 'sunshine-lonely' metro entrance in Turkey, Lung Deep Country sings a poetry of landscape and longing. The poet meditates on family and loss, the heaving of one's spirit, the 'great secret our grandmother taught us.' With perfectly observed detail-'the rust-red watering edge' of Oklahoma's Canadian River, 'the elbows of men fighting for space in the crowded ferries' of Istanbul-Lydia Renfro evokes the wrenching power of lovers lost, childhood vanished, heritage claimed and held closely. 'It is a family poem, ' she writes, 'an earth poem...it bristles my heart and sings the wounds there.' Lung Deep Country is a tour de force. These poems of yearning and place catch the heart, choke the throat; they call us to our own memories, entice us to 'pick up the conversation we've left off, ' as the poet says, '-the one started as children in the deep night.' -Rilla Askew, author of Most American: Notes from a Wounded Place", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/10/536/770/1105367703_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "12.00", "online_price" : "12.00", "our_price" : "12.00", "club_price" : "12.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
