Acceptance--that's the rub. To write poetry is to learn how to die, and thus to live. The double responsibility of poetry--Roth's poetry--as it scrutinizes particulars, is therefore also to probe behind them, to peer into the chasm, to listen to speechless void filling it out when the tiger sharks have disappeared as well. Roth excels at creating this intense duality, which is in itself a kind of presence. It is what being alive feels like or, rather, sounds like if we listen to the silence. This is the at once disturbing and stimulating encouragement that we can draw from these prose poems. They teach us the art of listening.--John Taylor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePoetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The Bitter Oleander Press","offers":[{"title":"Weightless Earth | Paul B Roth | Paperback | 9781734653533 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks H 1768500","offer_id":49517572292760,"sku":"1768500","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91IDbb1XhiL.jpg?v=1784616177","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/weightless-earth","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
