{"product_id":"only-rebecca-foust-9781954245297","title":"Only: Poems","description":"Urgent from the outset, Rebecca Foust's \u003ci\u003eOnly\u003c\/i\u003e insists that the only thing worth writing about is everything. Prompted to confront what she does not know, the speaker lists, \"Null. All. What's after death or before.\" This book scales the cliff-face of adulthood, that paradoxical ascent in which the longer we live the less we know of life, in which we find that each of us is only ourselves and yet delicately interconnected with everyone, everything, else. These candid lyrics ponder our broken political systems, family (dys)function and parenting challenges, divergent and intersecting identities, the complexities of sexuality, natural refuge and climate catastrophe, and in general what it means to be human in a world that sometimes feels as if it is approaching apocalypse. At the ledge of this abyss, however, Foust reminds us of the staggering beauty of life, the legacies of survival in the echoes of care that outlast us: \"I came \/ to the canyon rim and saw \/\/ how best to carry you: I let the stone go.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rebecca Foust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1954245297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954245297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Way Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.83w x 0.24d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/18\/2022","brand":"Rebecca Foust","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075049910527,"sku":"9781954245297","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4fa71538-47be-463a-a89f-c758f556da9f.jpg?v=1685457315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/only-rebecca-foust-9781954245297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
