A beetle crossing a tennis court brings to mind an infant crawling across the floor one who's now asking for the keys to the family car. A jar of golden honey draws readers into the murmur of bees and the scent of basswood flowers. In Earth's Appetite, Hasse offers a lyrical paean to re-roofing a house and a humorous description of how a dog and its unemployed owner spend a day. Her extended ode to feet, \"twin girls dressed alike,\" possesses a Neruda-like simplicity and charm. The book shows Hasse's longstanding mastery of striking imagery. \"Rung by rung down the ladder of my backbone,\" she writes, and \"earth like a love tilts toward and away.\" The book as a whole reminds us of the quirky ways that lives unfold, strengthening or breaking connections, offering unexpected turns and recurrent, familiar themes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41624968200215,"sku":"9781935666509","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/img_proxy_300x_55fdb9e0-3985-4993-bfed-4ad51ca5f1d6.jpg?v=1724539276","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/hasse-margaret-earthpb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
