In this world there is sex, grief, and loss, but also a committed dedication to life, hope and renewal. There are elegies for the poet\u0026amp;rsquo;s father and paeans to the relationship between queer sexuality and the natural world, vespers and hymns, even a few works that attempt to propel themselves into transcendence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy turns reverent and profane, beautiful and terrifying, to read \u003ci\u003eStrange Light \u003c\/i\u003eis to fall into its trance, a deep delirium of hypnotic rapture where everything is called into question, where fragility is allied with strength, and violence is both harnessed and unleashed. Hewitt has delivered a singular collection of poetry that leads us through the darkness\u0026amp;mdash;from the deep woods of forbidden love and illicit secrets\u0026amp;mdash;into a clearing of tenderness and reawakening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":49726015832291,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9780593803226","price":197.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780593803226.jpg?v=1789270783","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh\/products\/strange-light-selected-poems","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
