Turkel stages the lyric as technique, one suited for probing unanswerable questions about modernity, knowledge, nature, femininity, a poet's labor, and the dreams that visit us and choose to stay. Gracefully restrained without ever obscuring the heart, these poems keep vigil, then pucker with boldness and humor. Most of all, this subtle debut reminds us that poetry is a devotional practice of being wakeful in the world, especially when one so desperately wants to sleep and sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118181408791,"sku":"9781643623306","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/6497\/7956\/files\/51koeUwILmL._SL1500.jpg?v=1778452548","url":"https:\/\/open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com\/products\/turkel-scout-solitude-apb","provider":"Open Books: A Poem Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
