In Jan Beatty's fourth collection, The Switching/Yard, she takes us through the ravaged landscape of the American West. In unflinching lines of burning lyric and relentless narrative, she forges the constructed body into movement. What is still stereotyped as the romantic journey-now becomes as scarred as the Rust Belt. What lives in our collective unconscious as the Golden West becomes almost surreal, as these poems snap that vision in half with extended description of ghost explorers. We see the open truck cab, the farm workers on the corner waiting for pick-up; we see the speaker returning west to find the long-abandoned story of the birthfather. There is no stable landscape here except the horizontal action of moving through. Landscape becomes story. In this extended tale of the idea of family, we find stand-ins for the father in the form of a hit man, Jim Morrison, and ultimately the unyielding road takes the place of the body. The Switching/Yard is at once the horizontal world of the birth table where babies are switched, the complex yard of the body where gender routinely shifts and switches, and the actual switching yard of the trains that run the inevitable tracks of this book.Binding Type: Paperback

Love them as a cheap, effective warmer.
Color: Lavender
These really work well and are inexpensive ($20). I bought one for myself and my wife.
Up front they tell you what kind of mugs/cups not to use, so read the information areas. We tried insulated mugs and the heat doesn't get passed the insulation barrier and the outsides get pretty hot to touch.
We now use ceramic mugs and they work very well on these warmers.
There are a number of temperature settings and we found the higher settings to be too hot. You will have to experiment with your own mugs to see what works.
The sensor works well letting the warmer know if a mug is in place and it will shut down after 5 minutes without a mug. Unless your cat comes along early it won't get its feet scorched accidentally.
The automatic timer works as advertised as well.
Four stars because I found that trying to figure out how to actually turn the warmer off was a bit difficult and not so intuitive.
Would definitely recommend these warmers. Hope this review helped.

A very good present for someone special
Color: Black
I got this from a girl you can go ahead and melt scented candles. Just stick the holder down on. It puts out a nice scent cause you 12 hours of warmth to maintain your cup of drink or sent up the room a bit works well.

GREAT AT KEEPING MY COFFEE HOT!!! when i said HOT, I mean HOT!!! *****
Color: Black
So far it's GREAT!!!.
That warmer works great so far
I plugged it, set it at the maximum (185f), put my ceramic cup of hot coffee on it and let it for 5 hours.
when I checked it it was as hotter than when I put it on and the cup was really hot to the touch.
The glass top is very hot so be careful, I touched the marble counter under where the warmer was and it was not even hot (now I'll try with a wooden top desk to see if it will be the same).
So I don't think that you need to set it at the maximum to keep your coffee hot , probably (149f) will be good enough
So far it does exceed my expectation , very easy to use and the price is right.
I'll update if something happens but for now 5 STARS *****

KEEP LOOKING
Color: Black
I have used a coffee mug warmer all of my long adult life. This one is the worst. I had to get a new one because my new coffee mugs were too big to fit on the old warmer. Yes this is large and will fit most cups I would think. But the amount of attention this thing requires is ridiculous. No simple on/off switch and leave it and forget it. You have to keep touching points in order to find the on and off area, and then you have to keep tapping it to get the temperature you want, but if you take your cup off and put it back, the temperature goes back to the lowest and starts blinking until you tap it to make it solid at the temperature you want. I got it yesterday and it’s going back today. Trust me on this you won’t like the attention it requires.
