{"product_id":"halyna-kruk-lost-in-living-9798986571577","title":"Lost in Living","description":"Lost in Living presents Halyna Kruk's unpublished work from the immediate \"pre-invasion\" years when life in Ukraine was marked by turmoil but full-scale war was not yet normalized. In these \"dear poems that don't pain [her] like those about the war do,\" Kruk uses imagery and tone to underscore poetic agency, at times juxtaposing figurative language with a calm, direct voice to bring her poems to life. Nature cannot be relied on to sustain nor renew, and life is shown to be fundamentally vulnerable. \"Calm\" is a seductive state of mind capable of cunning, and the speaker is unable to find a place where she can thrive or grow. Still, daily tasks emerge as life-affirming and a welcome constant. It is ultimately a movement toward survival that drives the immediacy and urgency of Kruk's poetry. Lost in Living is the sixteenth volume in the Lost Horse Press Contemporary Poetry Series.","brand":"Washington State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53601578975574,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9798986571577_1.jpg?v=1778530473","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/halyna-kruk-lost-in-living-9798986571577","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
