Like a circus aerialist who makes us gasp one moment and laugh the next, the poet takes us from her immigrant father's Macedonian roots to her own maturity, to the life of a woman who is smart and well-read yet knows her way around a Coney Island hot dog and finds the attentions of a drunk cowboy oddly flattering. There are so many good poems here that it's hard to pick a favorite, but I'll put my money on \"Confessions of an Ugly Nightgown,\" in which a dead woman's shapeless article of intimate apparel says it can still rouse a sleeping husband and is loveliest as it lies on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e--David Kirby, \u003cem\u003eGet Up, Please\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karen Paul Holmes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 099821597X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780998215976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Terrapin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Karen Paul Holmes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947671191807,"sku":"9780998215976","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5bbe6f83-fd2a-45f6-b023-97e98520e8b5.jpg?v=1681520101","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-such-thing-as-distance-karen-holmes-9780998215976","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
