Poetry is everywhere, from the handyman tiling a kitchen backsplash to the creepy and distracted high school geography teacher. It encompasses lost dreams of hockey glory, snowmobilers on a patio drinking beer, impending heart surgery, birds, the dead, skinny strippers, euchre parties, funerals, graffiti, Sunday morning hotel rooms, ashtrays, blue flowers, desiccated chipmunk carcasses, and, of course, sex, love, and laundry. This bold, beautiful, and ballsy collection of new poems from a writer who has shifted from short fiction is sure to leave readers feeling inspired and uplifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 106g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 134 x 210 x 8 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781772142181\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Firth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46766668382458,"sku":"9781772142181","price":10.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1729246859608_book.jpg?v=1729362693","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/asking-for-directions-9781772142181","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
