{"product_id":"rare-earths","title":"Rare Earths","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRare Earths\u003c\/em\u003e marks the poetry debut of prize-winning novelist Deena Linett. In narrative and lyric poems, the collection displays the range of the poet’s art as she considers time and love, the movement of mind and—ultimately—loss. Book I of \u003cem\u003eRare Earths\u003c\/em\u003e is an intriguing and suspenseful story in verse. Mairi MacIntyre, a young architect, travels to the desolate North Atlantic island of St. Kilda, 110 miles off the coast of Scotland. In journal excerpts and letters to her husband and mother—discovered after Mairi’s death—she comes to terms with her own longings and inner life and her ties to the women who once inhabited the island. Complementing Book I—and adding to the many mysteries in \u003cem\u003eRare Earths\u003c\/em\u003e—are the lyric poems in Book II by “the American,” an anonymous poet who was present on the dig with Mairi McIntyre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEventually They Come Ashore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ethe living and the dead\u003cbr\u003ewhether you wait for them or not. \u003cbr\u003eThere are so many more\u003cbr\u003eof the dead, and the living \u003cbr\u003edrown on stony ground in grief \u003cbr\u003eand anger, and the sea \u003cbr\u003edoes not care.
