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."

Perfect for Smooth Dermaplaning!
Style: Dermaplaning Oil
This oil is amazing for dermaplaning! It provides the perfect glide for my razor without irritating or damaging my skin. The ingredients—jojoba and squalane—are some of my favorites, and my skin has been loving them. Every time I use this, my skin feels softer, smoother, and more nourished. The more I use it, the better my skin looks. If you dermaplane regularly, this is definitely a must-have!

INACCURATE DESCRIPTION
Style: Dermaplaning Oil, Style: Dermaplaning Oil
the product description reads, “ Dermaplane Oil for Smooth Razor Glide, with Squalane & Vitamin E, Face Oil for Dermaplaning Oil, All-Natural Formula, Dermaplane Spray Oil, Non-Greasy, Suitable for Sensitive Skin 3.21 Fl Oz by MyMed” However, the product I actually received is one box of 1.7 fl oz. Not worth the hassle of returning. Just want others to be aware of the product error.

Silky smooth for dermaplaning
Style: Dermaplane Oil
This is a very effective dermaplaning oil that isn't greasy and allows my razor to glide over my skin smoothly. After use, my skin feels better hydrated and smooth. The ingredients are natural and good for the skin, and I've noticed a difference when I use it. I highly recommend this natural oil for dermaplaning.

Wonderful but Sharp!
Size: #14R, Style: Pack of 20
These things are legit! This is not the typical ones you find in Walmart, Ross, TJMaxx etc. This is a true blade that will indeed do authentic dermaplaning. That said, be EXTREMELY careful with this as you can easily cut yourself. I highly recommend to anyone experienced but if you have no experience I would opt for the typical ones you can buy in the stores previously mentioned.

Professional-Quality Scalpel Blades for Dermaplaning = Clean, Precise & Individually Sterile
Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10, Size: #10R, Style: Pack of 10
I’ve been using these sterile disposable scalpels for dermaplaning, and I’m honestly very impressed with the quality especially for the price point. Each blade comes individually packaged and clearly sterile, which is extremely important for both professional and at-home use. The blades are sharp, precise, and glide smoothly across the skin without tugging or causing irritation. That clean, controlled edge is exactly what you want for effective dermaplaning. What I also love is the consistency every single scalpel in the box performs the same. No dull blades, no inconsistencies. The handle feels lightweight but still easy to control, giving you a steady grip during use. These are perfect for: • Dermaplaning • Precision skincare treatments • Light professional use If you’re someone who values hygiene, sharpness, and reliability, these are a great find. I’ll definitely be repurchasing.
