        "alt": "\"So much sky in this book, so much earth and water. And what between? Snow, rain, their absence. The weight of drought is distance, is loneliness, is emptiness.\nIn this book, Tyler Michael Jacobs reminds us how to fill such silent spaces: with singing, with dreaming, with care, with faith that our prayers will lead to green fields. Yes, the world is burning and barren, but these poems are an incantation against harm: a call to pay attention to the fragile beauty around us lest we lose it. In other words: look at the fucking flowers.\"\n-Amorak Huey, author of Dad Jokes from Late in the Patriarchy\n",
