This is a strong, vital series that has given voice to some of the best voices in American poetry today.\" - Billy Collins \"Blessings for the Hands is emotionally strong and imaginatively wild, distinctive, deeply moving, without an ort of self-pity, and pervaded by 'compassion down to your fingertips' (which Chekhov said is 'the only method' both to write and to live). This angle of vision is sharp enough to unify much disparate material. The poems are clear and musical and consequently a pleasure to read and reread despite their gravity. I think this may be lasting work.\" - Michael Ryan\"","brand":"The University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51036579234135,"sku":"9780226740942","price":40.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780226740942.jpg?v=1750932418","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/blessing-for-the-hands-from-the-sky-inside-the-shaking-tree-phoenix-poets-9780226740942","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
