Long awaited, the book is his first since \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWayfaring Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e came out in 2012. Melodious, lyrical, these poems of place and displacement are deeply personal at times as they look back over a long and eventful life. Tillinghast also focuses on troubled and troubling aspects of the American story: the Indian Wars of the 19th century and the history of race relations in his native South, from slavery to the country's current racial reckoning. It is rare to see a poet with such gifts for musicality, vivid imagery and finely honed diction address himself so pointedly to issues of social and political import.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40308094074903,"sku":"9781945680571","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/products\/ibg.common.titledetail_6d5a6af3-a8f9-4c24-826c-c992652ffb9b.gif?v=1663198807","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/tillinghast-richard-blue-if-only-i-could-tell-you","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
