This site-specific book is at once map and photograph, a history of place tied to the quotidian. For Spencer, to dwell is to understand the impact of memory, capitalism, education, and ecology on one's location. Cincinnati is nowhere and everywhere-- humming with grief and life--in these exquisite poems.\" \u003cb\u003e--Claudia Rankine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In East Walnut Hills, the divine and the everyday are indistinguishable from one another. Eden is both mythically untouchable and just down the street in Cincinnati, Ohio. Emily Spencer leads us through these poems as if through the wings of a living museum, imploring us to take our time and look--really look. But Spencer is not our tour guide, she is the artist.'\" \u003cb\u003e--Paige Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a book that proceeds in electric hushes, spare and lithe and deeply smart. The poems wind their way through Ohio neighborhoods, through husks of industry and commerce, through transport and abandonment, through invitation and exclusion, through histories, presents, and futures of biodiverse community--gender, race, and class. \u003ci\u003eEast Walnut Hills\u003c\/i\u003e is a brilliant achievement.\" \u003cb\u003e--Natalie Shapero\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Emily's crisp and alert poems are notations and noticings rooted in East Walnut Hills, Ohio. There is a warping of time, and people in these poems too: what is classic, what is new? How are traditions proscribed and inscribed? The lovely wordplay of Spencer's work, as a community-based global citizen, presents an expansive meditation on Black life and perception through residue, through the ghosts of where we, in the particular, have been and are.\" \u003cb\u003e--Tracie Morris\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 102\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 15, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47393477361842,"sku":"9781733150545","price":17.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/pFjtv5xJ4b9781733150545.webp?v=1783653397","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/east-walnut-hills-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
