Whether driven by elemental need or sublime desire, the inhabitants of these poems are actively engaged in seeking of every kind--physical, intellectual, and spiritual. Their very effort animates them.\u003cbr\u003e Pursuit is also devoted to the details of living--what we build, how we eat, our solitary and communal habits, our obsessions, how we amuse ourselves, how we find and endure love, how we survive. As Rosanna Warren wrote of the poems in Funkhouser's previous collection, \"They have the feel of experience rescued from the conventional by a great steadiness of regard.\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Pursuit | Erica Funkhouser | Hardcover | 9780618171521 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks C 1758246","offer_id":49178572325016,"sku":"1758246","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/419S6T7R77L.jpg?v=1780078008","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/pursuit","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
