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’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—from the deep woods of forbidden love and illicit secrets—into a clearing of tenderness and reawakening.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52158896472293,"sku":"NP9780593803226","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780593803226.jpg?v=1787613727","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/strange-light-selected-poems-isbn-9780593803226","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
