{"product_id":"brother-salvage-poems-9780822959359","title":"Brother Salvage: Poems","description":"The name of the title poem--\"Brother Salvage: a genizah,\" provides a skeleton key to unlock the powerful forces that bind Rick Hilles's collection. A genizah is a depository, or hiding place, for sacred texts. It performs a double function: to keep hallowed objects safe and to prevent more destructive forces from circulating and causing further harm. Brother Salvage serves exactly this purpose. The poems are heartrending and incisive, preserving stories and lives that should not be forgotten. Yet, through the poet's eloquent craft, painful histories and images are beautifully and luminously contained. Like scholars sifting through ancient genizahs in search of spiritual and historical insights, readers immersed in Brother Salvage will find, at the heart of the book, the most sacred entity: hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Hilles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.00w x 0.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822959359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2006 pg. 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRick Hilles, associate professor of English at Vanderbilt University, is the author of the poetry collections, \u003ci\u003eBrother Salvage, \u003c\/i\u003ewinner of the 2005 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize and the 2006 Foreword Poetry Book of the Year, and \u003ci\u003eA Map of the Lost World, \u003c\/i\u003e a finalist for the Ohioana Book Award.
