{"product_id":"ambush-at-still-lake-caroline-bird-9781800174122","title":"Ambush at Still Lake","description":"Caroline Bird's new poems show us the ambush of real life that occurs in the stillness after the happy ending. This is a collection about marriage, lesbian parenthood, addiction and recovery in which a recurring dream is playing out: a world where mums impale themselves on pogo-sticks, serial killers rattle around in basements, baby monitors are haunted by someone else's baby and, through it all, love stays and stays like a stationary rollercoaster that turns out to be the scariest, most thrilling ride in the amusement park. Her editor welcomed the book in these terms: 'It is bleak, repellent and hilarious in an American Psycho-ish way. Hectic and vivid.' 'Vegetable crisps. The words yawn like a black hole, sucking my eyes backwards into my head until I see my own brain glowing like a radioactive cauliflower.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Bird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800174128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800174122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Caroline Bird","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46052407673087,"sku":"9781800174122","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a939ec36-52b1-4088-8e93-45ac053d53b5.jpg?v=1723556286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ambush-at-still-lake-caroline-bird-9781800174122","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
