The overall theme is loss, both the social loss from the disappearance of communities due to the external effects of technology, and the personal loss from the death of a family member. The book is divided into five sections with the first and last dealing with the social impacts of the flooding of the Jocassee Valley on the border of North and South Carolina. <P>As in his other books, Rash is very precise in his use of language, with the prosody being informed by Welsh forms. Many of the poems use a style of syllabic verse featuring seven- syllable lines with internal echos, but most readers will not notice the craftsmanship of these poems because they flow so naturally. There is great narrative intensity in these poems with short poems of short lines telling detailed and vivid stories. 43545 15 3 2002 Raising the Dead total:25|5:8|4:11|3:4|2:1|1:1| 25 99 38 1 1 0 false false Sun Aug 05 00:25:44 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 05 00:27:29 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Tue Nov 24 14:45:18 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 14:45:18 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 11 13:40:02 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 13:40:02 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 22 17:24:43 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 19:24:41 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 17:24:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 01 17:26:57 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 17:26:57 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 05 13:23:20 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 13:23:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jun 03 02:47:17 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 02:47:17 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri May 08 07:47:41 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 07:47:41 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Apr 21 04:47:51 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 04:47:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 23 04:56:55 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 04:56:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Feb 03 09:03:25 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 09:03:58 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 27 18:39:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 18:39:00 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jan 24 20:12:38 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 20:12:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jan 05 05:53:55 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 05 05:53:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 29 16:00:35 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 29 16:00:38 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Wed Oct 08 19:01:45 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 08 19:01:45 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Aug 04 16:26:38 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 04 16:26:38 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jul 30 11:40:35 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 11:40:35 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Jun 29 15:49:24 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 29 15:49:24 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Tue Sep 02 14:09:11 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 08:31:49 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 14:09:11 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=44178
