{ "item_title" : "Memory of a Larger Mind", "item_author" : [" Daniela Naomi Molnar "], "item_description" : "Poems written outdoors, in the presence of disappearing glaciers--a book of memory, grief, and transformation.In her new poetry collection, Memory of a Larger Mind, Daniela Naomi Molnar sifts through memory and layered loss--planetary, cultural, familial, and personal--asking how we withstand and how we transform. These are plein air poems, written outdoors in the presence of disappearing glaciers and composed with shifting light, wind, sound, and scent: elegies and love songs, celebrations and laments. Braiding the slow death of glaciers with her grandmother's survival of the Holocaust, the book holds ecological and ancestral loss in a single frame. Alive to our current moment while keeping one foot in geologic time, Molnar exposes genocide and ecocide as expressions of the same logic, the same movement: ice to water to light, grief to love to joy to grief.Memory of a Larger Mind is part of a larger interdisciplinary project that gathers pigments, language, and memory from sacrifice zones--glaciated landscapes, former concentration and incarceration camps, desecrated sacred sites--and transforms them into poems, paintings, and films. The result is work in which all bodies are understood as dynamic, part of a world in which difficult pasts might open toward more peaceful futures, and in which grief, handled with care, might shift to love.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/63/243/228/1632432285_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "19.95", "online_price" : "19.95", "our_price" : "19.95", "club_price" : "19.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
