{"product_id":"accidental-garden-9781957062068","title":"Accidental Garden","description":"\"I admire these poems for their willingness to encounter; to give us the saw-toothed shark, the microbe, the manatee, and, of course, the moon. Here is a poet who holds, so dearly, all that slips away. 'O heart, ' begins one address, 'crumb-lover, taker of any bid. For as long \/ as there's land to walk along, isthmus, \/ channel, bridge to nothing, I'll move, I'll play, \/ I'll scrape flint into fire.'\"-Danusha Laméris, final judge, Barry Spacks Poetry Prize \"In \u003cem\u003eAccidental Garden\u003c\/em\u003e, Catherine Esposito Prescott assembles a glowing collection of poems that seam the quotidian with the ethereal; for this poet, they are one and the same. There is a gently probing curiosity to these poems, a faith pieced with wing, hedge, moon, and the tenderness of our own bodies. The poet writes: \"I am a woman with a voice...that rains light.\" That's what these poems do above all-they shine.\"-Emma Trelles, author of \u003cem\u003eTropicalia\u003c\/em\u003e and Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara\"In poems both elegiac and celebratory, Prescott uses the lyric form to simultaneously center and expand her (and our) human experience. \u003cem\u003eAccidental Garden\u003c\/em\u003e takes on a global pandemic and individual illness and emerges as a handbook for survival. These poems are intimate and vulnerable but also utterly fierce and hauntingly beautiful.
