{ "item_title" : "Strange Light", "item_author" : [" Hewitt "], "item_description" : "From award-winning poet Se n Hewitt, writer of the critically acclaimed All Down Darkness Wide and Open, Heaven, comes a remarkable collection of poems that illuminate the gaps between love and its loss, familiarity and estrangement, happiness and grief In Strange Light, Se n Hewitt conjures a world on the border of the physical and the spiritual, a world where men meet in the woods at night, where nature is by turns regenerated and broken, and where the split self of the speaker is interrupted by a series of ghosts, memories, and encounters. In this world there is sex, grief, and loss, but also a committed dedication to life, hope and renewal. There are elegies for the poet's father and paeans to the relationship between queer sexuality and the natural world, vespers and hymns, even a few works that attempt to propel themselves into transcendence. By turns reverent and profane, beautiful and terrifying, to read Strange Light is to fall into its trance, a deep delirium of hypnotic rapture where everything is called into question, where fragility is allied with strength, and violence is both harnessed and unleashed. Hewitt has delivered a singular collection of poetry that leads us through the darkness--from the deep woods of forbidden love and illicit secrets--into a clearing of tenderness and reawakening.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/0/59/380/322/0593803221_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "30.00", "online_price" : "30.00", "our_price" : "30.00", "club_price" : "30.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
