{"product_id":"hereafter-9798987828854","title":"Hereafter","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe eagerly awaited second collection of tender, considerate poems by The Song Cave editor Alan Felsenthal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix years ago, Alan Felsenthal's \u003ci\u003eLowly\u003c\/i\u003e was heralded in the \u003ci\u003eBoston Review\u003c\/i\u003e for its \"dreamlike fables and quasi-parables ... [a] striking debut collection [that] bypasses many of contemporary poetry's usual movements, feints and sources.\" Now, Felsenthal's poignant second collection of poems, \u003ci\u003eHereafter\u003c\/i\u003e, moves between the difficult work of mourning and the spirited nature of life. Both an elegy for a dear friend and a search for signs of renewal, these poems recover pastoral symbols of sorrow from clich?. Essential in their attempt at consolation, Felsenthal's requiems traverse landscapes--the ocean, the earth and the moon--using both humor and pathos to awaken the depths of feeling that follow loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Felsenthal\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eLowly\u003c\/i\u003e (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2017). He currently serves as the head of The Song Cave.
