In taxidermy one encounters the word 'articulate, ' which means both to give shape to something and to express its systemic whole. The word means more or less the same thing in regards to language as well, though with language the system and shape are a part of a larger map of sounds and signs than that which is contained within the visible world. Amanda Hawkins articulates and is articulate. These poems reassemble bodies so that we may experience them as living or once living beings: the dead whale, the box of ash, the beloveds of one's life, intermingled in the dust of living and the decay of dying. Articulation is also a synonym for eloquence, and in these poems especially this is true: faithful renderings, vatic cries, devotional meditations: a landscape, a seascape and an inscape intricately involved in each others' symmetries. A monumental debut.
-D.A. Powell, author of Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys and Chronic
Even doubt is a flame," writes Amanda Hawkins in this beautiful new collection of poems. At the heart of this book is personal loss, hemmed by the science of bodies transformed into ash. But the bones are the bones as death, pandemics, wars, the opioid crisis, and the threat of the sixth mass extinction worry these poems at every turn. Following their gaze along the skeleton of a blue whale and seeing a cathedral, I fell in love with this book. I love Hawkins' undimmable delight for the places-body and world. They invite us to be like stone and sink down and down where (somehow) the hope lives.
-Amber Flora Thomas, author of Eye of Water
Between desert and ocean, the living and the dead, bone and ash Amanda Hawkins dissects our fervent need to grieve, not only personal loss, but the loss of our ever-changing physical landscapes, for the solidity of the earth under our feet and a faith in all that does not fail us (knowing full well it will). When I Say the Bones I Mean the Bones takes a microscope to the core of the human body in its final granular form and creates a world where grief, wonder, mystery, and the stoic facts of nature leave us with the knowledge that "What matters is that I speak/of heavens and their call /and our response. What matters/is that we can both cry/and cry out loud."
-Tina Schumann, author of Praising the Paradox and Requiem: A Patrimony of Fugue
Amanda Hawkins's When I Say the Bones I Mean the Bones burns through themes of living, dying, of the spiritual, how human beings fit onto and into the earth. Her poems connect Israeli settler colonialism of Palestine with the ongoing desecration of America's Native lands such as Bear Ears National Monument all the while remaining tender and open to transformation as they admit Something about driving the eastern Sierras makes me understand. And this understanding will blossom in your mind, dear reader, long after you put the book down.
-Rajiv Mohabir, author of Whale Aria, Cutlish, The Cowherd's Son, and Antiman
Amanda Hawkins's When I Say the Bones, I Mean the Bones is a book of compassionate imagination. Deftly drawing a line from religious faith to the mortal body to our increasingly fragile environment, Hawkins reckons with our most primal vulnerabilities and, consequently, reckons with the febrile divisions that ought to connect us. From poem to poem, they exude tenderness and the passionate hope that our belief systems need not be bound by institutions or orthodoxies but by witness, love, and a shared sense of possibility, or as Hawkins beautifully observes this hope is entrance.
-Jennifer Chang, author of The History of Anonymity, Some Say the Lark, and An Authentic Life

Droit de rétractation
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
