Inside the language of extraction, what can we undercover in that overlooked excess?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJolene Brink's\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eOverburden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eexcavates these questions. Across four sweeping sections, the collection probes what we disturb in our relentless digging, whether naming the stars, mining the past, or giving birth in an uncertain century. The excess of overburden becomes a luminous site of wonder, grief, and reckoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen such a dig is done, overburden is used to fill the seam left behind, an attempt to reclaim the land without fully acknowledging what was taken. Brink's poems inhabit this uneasy process of restoration--intimate, global, planetary. They speak from clear-cuts and gravel pits, pandemic nurseries and glacial seams, gathering the personal and the historical into a layered archive of presence and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith precision and tenderness, Brink documents and elegizes the aftermath of extraction, the compulsion to put something back.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eOverburden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a record of those attempts, a powerful meditation on inheritance, labor, motherhood, and the reverberations of human impact on both land and self.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dotters Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52510668488997,"sku":"9781682833025","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2167\/5269\/files\/9781682833025.gif?v=1780523372","url":"https:\/\/dottersbooks.com\/products\/overburden-poems-by-jolene-brink","provider":"Dotters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
