The Cradle Place is a collection from Thomas Lux, a self-described "recovering surrealist" and winner of the Kingsley Tufts Award. These fifty-two poems bring to full life the "refreshing iconoclasms" Rita Dove so admired in Lux's earlier work. His voice is plainspoken but moody, humorous and edgy, and ever surprising. These are philosophical poems that ask questions about language and intention, about the sometimes untidy connections between the human and natural worlds. In the poem "Terminal Lake," Lux undermines notions of benign nature, finding dark currents beneath the surface: "it's a huge black coin, / it's as if the real lake is drained / and this lake is the drain: gaping, language- / less, suck- and sinkhole." In the ominous "Render, Render," the narrator asks us to consider a concentration of the essences of our lives: all that is physical, spiritual, remembered, and dreamed for, melded together to make the messy self we present to the world. Lux's voice is intelligent without being bookish, urgent and unrelentingly evocative. He has long been a strong advocate for the relevance of poetry in American culture. The Los Angeles Times praises Lux for his "compelling rhythms, his biting irony, and his steady devotion to a craft that often seems thankless." As Sven Birkerts noted, "Lux may be one of the poets on whom the future of the genre depends."Binding Type: Paperback

Great book on energy and the Law of Attraction
Format: Hardcover
One of the best books I have ever read on the Law of Attraction and how it really works through energy management. Simple to understand with no esoteric jargon, and with many practical examples, make this text well worth the purchase.
Highly recommended!

A fabulous resource for anyone ready to take control of what they attract.
This book is truly a practical guide to understanding how personal energy shapes our life experiences. The author does a great job blending spiritual truths with doable steps, on how to align your thoughts and emotions. Unlike so many other books that focus mostly on positive thinking, this one focuses on awareness and how to shift your “internal frequency” to manifest in the real world.
I really appreciated the uplifting writing style and clear format, making it easy to understand and follow. All in all, I thought this book is a fabulous resource for anyone ready to take control of their vibration, and create a more abundant and purposeful life.

makes positive change easier
I really enjoyed the simplicity of this book. I've made a lot of bookmarks. It's a lot of information I was already familiar with, but phrased in simple and relatable ways. Also a lot of things I didn't think about, like sound and energy. I enjoyed the examples on how to do some of these steps, and simple things you can do every day, like micro changes, to make positive change easier.
