What I love most is the clarity of thought-the no-holds-barred, no-punches-pulled sharpness of the language that carries the reader through each poem, jonesin’ for the next. \u003ci\u003eEverybody’s Jonesin’ for Something\u003c\/i\u003e invites you out of your complacency and fuels a restlessness that reminds you that you’re alive, that this is no time for sleeping.”-Tim Seibles, author of \u003ci\u003eOne Turn around the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“An extraordinary and penetrating look at the world through the eyes of an electrifying writer who is indeed jonesin’ for something; perhaps the answer to who we are as Americans, or even who we are as human beings. There’s joy in experiencing a work like this one. Each page enthralls as Indigo Moor explores a myriad of topics in a keenly aware, yet compassionate voice filled with stirring language, powerful observations, and intense wonder.”-Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas, author of \u003ci\u003eEpitaph for the Beloved\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e“Narratives don’t always belong to history’s victors,’’ writes Indigo Moor. If this line gives you pause, I strongly suggest you carry Moor’s brilliant book, \u003ci\u003eEverybody’s Jonesin’ for Something\u003c\/i\u003e, home with you. In this dazzling book, you will read just how closely this poet has been paying attention, to us, to his histories, foreign and domestic, to our mighty (and sometimes mighty confusing) nation. \u003ci\u003eJonesin’\u003c\/i\u003e is a verse flashlight to all the corners you thought no one was supposed to pay attention to, line by beautifully crafted line, truth by earned truth. You’ll reach the last line of the last poem, and trust me, that’s when the hunger for more will begin.”-Cornelius Eady, author of \u003ci\u003eThe War Against the Obvious\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurning an unflinching spotlight on the American Dream, Indigo Moor plunges headfirst into national-and personal-laments and desires. From Emmett Till to the fall of the Twin Towers and through the wildfires of Paradise, California, Moor weaves a thread through the hopes, sacrifices, and Sisyphean yearnings that make this country the beautiful trap that it is. \u003ci\u003eEverybody’s Jonesin’ for Something\u003c\/i\u003e takes an imagistic leap through the darker side of our search for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, perusing what we lose, what we leave behind, and what strange beauty we uncover.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"The Backwaters Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52599905714456,"sku":"9781496222701","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/everybodys-jonesin-for-something-paperback-softback-9781496222701","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
