Intimacies, skepticism, transformation, scars: these are things that also happen to be common to, and woven into, the fabric of lyric poems. In Natalia Prusinska's \u003cem\u003eHard Jolts of Hope\u003c\/em\u003e, we encounter a poet whose preoccupations take us to a place where Emerson's remark that the mission of American poetry is to show us the power of surprise comes to mind. Here the \"jolt\" of the title lands us squarely in the ambit of this aesthetic, passionate and stunning in its immediacy and frankness. The language is terse and sharp, bristling with intelligence and precision. Think of a mashup of Creeley, Olds, and Lockwood. And feelingly memorable. That's the thing that every poet wants and Prusinska can claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-David Rigsbee\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eThis Much I Can Tell You\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eNot Alone in My Dancing: Essays and Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52728711774515,"sku":"9781646626984","price":28.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Mk53RGFwYkttUllSbStzK2NKUmhuUT09.webp?v=1763791216","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/hard-jolts-of-hope-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
