Beyond the productivity and excess, the sweetness and sting, \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eRequeening\u003c\/span\u003e brings together poems of motherhood and daughterhood, an evolving relationship of care and tending, responsibility and joy, dependence and deep love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe poems that anchor this collection don't shy away from the inevitability of a hive's collapse and consider the succession of \"requeening\" a hive as \"a new heart ready to be fed and broken and fed again.\" The collapse is both physical-there are poems of illness and recovery-and emotional, as the mother-daughter relationship shifts, the daughter becoming separate, whole, and poised to displace. The liminal spaces these poems traverse in human relationships is echoed in a range of poetic and hybrid form, offering freedom and stricture as they contemplate the way we hold one another in love and grief.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eRequeening\u003c\/span\u003e is a vivid and surprising collection of poems from a winner of the National Poetry Series Open Competition.","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42818464907344,"sku":"9780063096288B","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780063096288-l.jpg?v=1785871808","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/requeening-9780063096288b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
