{"product_id":"readiness-mark-cox-9781941209783","title":"Readiness","description":"\u003cp\u003eBehind surfaces that can sometimes be wryly comic, Mark Cox is unafraid to risk adult tenderness (\"brutal tenderness\" he says in one poem) and great empathy for this world's sufferers. Which is to say that beneath a rich variety of occasions (from an ancient Egyptian mummifier doing up a fifteen-foot crocodile, to a current-day housewife doing up an angel food cake), Cox's bedrock concern is that impossible thing of endless grief and joy that we call the human condition. These poetic meditations and monologues are some of the least prosaic prose you'll ever read. --Albert Goldbarth\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Cox\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1941209785\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781941209783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Press 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2018","brand":"Mark Cox","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937720369407,"sku":"9781941209783","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25b495a1-1be0-4f1f-acf6-14af73605fcf.jpg?v=1681431629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/readiness-mark-cox-9781941209783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
