Lovingly self-effacing, Kasischke evokes vulnerability, disbelief, and tragedy with a quiet, conversational reverence. With wordplay and exclamation, lament and ironic humor, these poems invite as they reflect, reaching out to a forbidding world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Copper Canyon Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43182592098365,"sku":"9781556597312","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781556597312_p0.jpg?v=1778760416","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781556597312","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
