{"product_id":"cloud-vs-cloud","title":"Cloud vs. Cloud","description":"Used paperback in Very Good condition. Poetry. Ethan Paquin writes \"Language is notorious.\" In his latest collection, language is as lush and textured as the mountains and oceans that are his subjects, and familiar natural landmarks are representational of memory so that mind and body become layers in this vast loam. Both political and emotional, with one foot planted firmly in the pastoral tradition and one testing the waters of a neo neo-Romanticism, this book's speaker leads us on a trail of memories where past, future, and present self-hood are conflated beyond recognition. Only through knowledge of the rough earth will he come to know the self: \"carry me like a reed-basket of water over the pinions of landscapes \/ blasted by heat and then i will know where i belong.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTarpaulin I call my home this stormy world.\u003cbr\u003eWindswept tarn on the high ridge my ocean\u003cbr\u003ealways gray no landfall in sight earth's dropped\u003cbr\u003eoff.
