In his new book, \u003cem\u003eSearch for Survivors\u003c\/em\u003e, La Prade explores a different environment: small, history-laden communities in upstate NY. In these poems, he contemplates the changing seasons, landscapes, and wildlife, as he hikes trails through lands once farmed by past generations and now being reclaimed by Nature. These farmlands with their decomposing barns and natural surroundings represent a mythic history of \"America.\" In his poems, La Prade presents images of this rural beauty, decay, and transformation. These poems are permeated by echoes of earlier lives and histories. \u003cem\u003eSearch for Survivors\u003c\/em\u003e is an elegiac portrait of a land and a nation where rapidly changing social and cultural priorities are erasing our collective memories of the past. La Prade's poems remind us that the threads of history run everywhere through our lives, and we ignore them to our detriment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.19 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731080343859,"sku":"9781944234621","price":28.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/zDycarmu6P9781944234621.webp?v=1763848631","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/search-for-survivors-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
