Whether standing at her neighbor's fence of desert oleander, or birdwatching with her mother, or flipping through late-night TV, or going out to watch the moon again, Fritz Goldberg never fails to attend the romance of a world we are sure to lose. This is a lyricist unafraid of the ordinary predicament of the night sky, a place where historical figures, scientific inquiry, and encounters with strangers are imagined with intimacy and music, and where the orphic questions are answered by a glance back. Through precise imagery and philosophical reach, these poems pursue what it means to inhabit a mortal body on a threatened planet while still finding moments of wonder, connection, and astonishment. In \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Eye of Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, Beckian Fritz Goldberg offers her sublime, compassionate hymnal to the enduring mysteries of love, consciousness, and mortal time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3020294\"\u003eBeckian Fritz Goldberg\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Pittsburgh Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 6.11w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822968382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082296838X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE005010\"\u003eAmerican\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-POE\"\u003ePoetry\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-POE023030\"\u003eSubjects \u0026amp; Themes | Animals \u0026amp; Nature\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBeckian Fritz Goldberg\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven previous volumes of poetry, including \u003ci\u003eNever Be the\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eHorse\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the University of Akron Poetry Prize; \u003ci\u003eTwentieth Century Children\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the \u003ci\u003eIndiana Review\u003c\/i\u003e Chapbook Prize; and \u003ci\u003eLie Awake\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eLake\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the \u003ci\u003eField\u003c\/i\u003e Poetry Prize.
