From the Pennsylvania coal mines to the fields and mountainsides of New Hampshire, these poems search for order in a father's everyday work, the changing seasons, and the myths that shape America and its people. \u003ci\u003eGhosts of the Monadnock Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e is a poetic study in what we have lost, and what we still hold on to. A meditation in verse that deepens with each read. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAdvance Praise for \u003ci\u003eGhosts of the Monadnock Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere in these powerful new poems that make up \u003ci\u003eGhosts of the Monadnock Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e, Andrew Krivak presents those haunting, scintillant images he gave us earlier in \u003ci\u003eThe Signal Flame\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Bear\u003c\/i\u003e: A wilderness drumming in the shadows of the Monadnock range, with its unforgiving ice, its Dantesque slopes, and the howl of those ghost wolves and coyotes. In the end, it's a father's hope to somehow protect one's children against those nightmarish forces we know are beyond our control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul Mariani, author of Crossing Cocytus and The Great Wheel \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrew Krivak's collection, \u003ci\u003eGhosts of the Monadnock Wolves\u003c\/i\u003e, celebrates the history of a place in the only way that matters - by giving us the people of the place. In \"Lake Ice,\" there's a passage that suggests his method of poetic exploration: The narrator and his children stand on a frozen lake and watch the \"auger as it turns and searches, turns and searches through each frozen layer, until water so green and cold it looks oily gushes up and settles into slush around our boots.\" Krivak's close eye for the sensory detail grounds all of these poems, and the work reminds me of Harry Humes and the early poems of James Dickey. Reader, get ready to be immersed, get ready to learn what the auger can find. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCharles Rafferty, author of \u003ci\u003eA Cluster of Noisy Planets\u003c\/i\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.11 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985760747821,"sku":"9798491311545","price":15.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/MHZ4TGRWdEt1UWVUZ3hEd1FSSU5UZz09.webp?v=1776138890","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/ghosts-of-the-monadnock-wolves-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
