{"product_id":"full-and-plum-colored-velvet-9780998700380","title":"Full and Plum-Colored Velvet","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"In Anne Graue's Full and Plum-Colored Velvet memories rise like heat From suburban Kansas to Cyprus to Kenya to The Great British Baking Show, the speaker of Full and Plum-Colored Velvet doesn't stop wondering. The wonderment these poems express feels like a slow cool drink of water on a hot day: that refreshing and that right. Time passes, a girl grows up, sorrow falls into its necessary place beside joy, and an array of characters-a mother, a sister, a daughter, a bad boyfriend-begin to feel like our own connections. Framing it all is nothing less than the entire natural world and familiar domestic spaces, lovingly reimagined. This book offers you the gift of wise and wild marveling. As Anne Graue says, 'Come on. Take it.'\" -Kathleen Ossip\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGraue, Anne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, Anne Graue has been a poet since the age of 17 and a published poet since 2009.
