{"product_id":"anybody-home-kay-cosgrove-9798985435726","title":"Anybody Home?","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe poems in Kay Cosgrove's first collection, \u003ci\u003eAnybody Home?\u003c\/i\u003e are driven by curiosity - about herself, the world, and her place in it. Witty and elegantly restrained, they ask the question: how do we live the lives we've made for ourselves? Cosgrove roams from barrooms to checkout lines to the enigma of motherhood; she is a teenager responsible for a sack-of-flour-as-a-baby, and then an adult driving a teenage babysitter home. She explores the texture of our connections to strangers, family, ourselves, and illuminates the sublime in the unimportant. The poems in \u003ci\u003eAnybody Home?\u003c\/i\u003e embrace life's sweetness and shadows. Here, the ordinary is unfathomable and the ineffable is ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt dusk last night I blew the biggest bubble\u003cbr\u003efor my girls.
