{"product_id":"larks-poems-9780821425916","title":"Larks: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe core of \u003ci\u003eLarks\u003c\/i\u003e is rural and mythic and true, existential and domestic, tender while full of sharp grief and documentation. Circling genealogies of silence and harm in a southern family, \u003ci\u003eLarks\u003c\/i\u003e centers on the relationship and memories of three sisters and Ovid's telling of Philomel. In a landscape inhabited as much by farm animals (cows, goats, chickens, and barn kittens) as by the family, the lyric poem parses and articulates the self's history--from the experience of a sister's home birth to the traumatic erasure (and recovery) of the speaker's memory. A work of poetic memoir, \u003ci\u003eLarks\u003c\/i\u003e asks if poetry can hold the heaviest truths we carry. The answer is a resounding yes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHan VanderHart\u003c\/b\u003e holds a PhD from Duke University and is the author of \u003ci\u003eWhat Pecan Light\u003c\/i\u003e (Bull City Press, 2021) and \u003ci\u003eHands Like Birds\u003c\/i\u003e (Ethel Press, 2019).
