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.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTony Hoagland \u003c\/b\u003e(1953-2018) was the award-winning author of seven books of poetry, including \u003ci\u003ePriest Turned Therapist Treats Fear of God \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWhat Narcissism Means to Me\u003c\/i\u003e, and four books about poetry, including \u003ci\u003eTwenty Poems That Could Save America\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.29 x 8.96 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 12, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766857335072,"sku":"9781644450925","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7601ce7a595ba0ef991bc7929d4d7045.webp?v=1780300097","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/turn-up-the-ocean-poems-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
