This work focuses on the environment, human and physical, in which the loss of nature and innocence is born and calls attention to the many ways we create both intimacy and distance when trauma is hidden or denied. Derek Thomas Dew's language is harsh, honest, and sometimes heartbreaking. His poems capture the confusion and fatigue that must be navigated for a victim of abuse to piece himself back together and the internal strife that comes with carry-ing a traumatic secret that can no longer be ignored. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich with unforgettable images and the quiet strength of hard-won survival, \u003cem\u003eRiddle Field\u003c\/em\u003e tackles the complex process of achieving self-awareness and recovery in the wake of profound trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTown in the Radio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMainland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFar From Walter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Carver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfluence \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow Corner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Nameless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinchuck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Walter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaby Prince\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticles \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe Ring \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrin Burnt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Bread \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast November's Burn \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mermaid Club \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Thieves \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Masking Tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart III.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGambit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Drown \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInosculation \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort Leg \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBorder Huts 37\u003cbr\u003eLow Bite 38\u003cbr\u003eFrom Trains 39\u003cbr\u003eMy Helicopters 40\u003cbr\u003eLight Us Down     41\u003cbr\u003eThat Clapping 42\u003cbr\u003eCat Root 43\u003cbr\u003eRing Up Dawn \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart IV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGriddle Six \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiar's Dice \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunnel Music \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatchcoat \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDucksing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaceholder \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrouble Knuckle \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElkstone \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Allowance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCairn \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTopples Cake \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetween Churches \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLand That Knows Hands \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCursorial \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliquary 1 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliquary 2 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliquary 3 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReliquary 4 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVery \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfterward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"University of Nevada Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043343368535,"sku":"9781948908764","price":15.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781948908764.jpg?v=1750957916","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/riddle-field-poems-9781948908764","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
