Drawing on a wide range of poetics, from Wallace Stevens to Tony Hoagland and Diane Seuss, roberts's musically-driven narrative surrealism confronts such timely issues as police brutality, respectability politics, intimate partner, and ecological crisis, and considers the might-have-been alongside the what could be, negotiating the past without losing hope for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"stephanie roberts (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Biblioasis |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2025-04-01","offer_id":46181219696895,"sku":"9781771966573","price":21.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_78.jpg?v=1741902647","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781771966573","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
