They sing, too, of the natural world and its wisdom. A few poems dare touch on the trick of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"These are the marvelous poems of a life lived on the edge of the wild, homestead poems among the harsh beauties of the far North. Clean language that relies on the natural image to trace out a thin narrative thread and carry the deep feeling within. A mother spinning yarn from the long wool of the sheep's belly, dyed with burdock and beet-skin. The chapped hands of working class youth; night shift at a slaughterhouse, hustling the lumber mill's green chain. I admire their spare lines and Stoic outlook, reminiscent of Gary Snyder or early John Haines.\" - Joseph Millar, author of \u003cem\u003eShine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.27 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 24, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52835716366643,"sku":"9781939530387","price":26.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/HuGb1C0KHK9781939530387.webp?v=1765457943","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/birds-and-the-trick-of-time-poems-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
