Places We Might Think Of As Home Have Become Unaffordable Or Inaccessible. A Poor Excuse For An Apartment, A Basement Suite Is Cold On Five Sides, Like Childhood, And Tries To Forget We Are Here. Power Lines, Radios, And Fluorescent Lights All Emit A Low Hum Of Menace, And Vulgar Muffins, Overstuffed As Geese With Funnels Down Their Throats Come To Represent A Culture In Decline.Solie, Who Grew Up In Saskatchewan On A Small Family Farm, Sees The Economic And Environmental Crises As Intertwined. Climate Change Has Made Small Farming Untenable, And Onward Creeps The Corporate Control Of Food Production. There Is No Starting Over, Solie Writes. And Yet, Life, Echoing With The Presence Of Those Lost, Ambles Along Day By Day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus And Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47958299312373,"sku":"DADAX0374617678","price":33.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/8131tKT5d6L.jpg?v=1775570943","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/wellwater-poems-fsg-poetry","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
