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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54576738664814,"sku":"9780593803226","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1007\/0382\/files\/imageloader_a24da5c3-6698-4e51-9650-60a7a45645ad.jpg?v=1786805390","url":"https:\/\/tenderbuttonsbooks.com\/products\/strange-light","provider":"Tender Buttons Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
