The poems in \u003ci\u003eTurn Up the Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e examine with an unflinching eye and mordant humor the reality of living and dying in a time and culture that conspire to erase our inner lives. Hoagland's signature wit and unparalleled observations take in long-standing injustices, the atrocities of American empire and consumerism, and our ongoing habit of looking away. In these poems, perseverance depends on a gymnastics of skepticism and comedy, a dogged quest for authentic connection, and the consolations of the natural world. \u003ci\u003eTurn Up the Ocean\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable and moving collection, a fitting testament to Hoagland's devotion to the capaciousness and art of poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hoagland, Tony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781644450925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.04w x 0.29d","brand":"Tony Hoagland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39818308747339,"sku":"9781644450925","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_c1c2afd8-17c2-416b-9985-247c4528e372.jpg?v=1659408837","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/turn-up-the-ocean-poems-9781644450925","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
