{"product_id":"your-funny-funny-face-patricia-barone-9781421838144","title":"Your Funny, Funny Face","description":"\u003cp\u003ePat Barone's new book of poetry, \u003cem\u003eYour Funny, Funny Face\u003c\/em\u003e, illuminates the passages of a marriage and its many revelations of desire and mortality. In stunning language, Barone reflects on all the transformations we make as women, partners and mothers. Poignant and wise in the telling of her loss, we see sorrow as one more way to find tenderness and newly recognized wonder. There is a luminous harmony in this couples' voices, but also honesty in their 'backward forward dream'. This is a testament about how one makes a map together with a loved one.
