{"product_id":"perforated-9781957755649","title":"Perforated","description":"\u003cp\u003eChloe Yelena Miller's Perforated offers us intimate, confiding poems that ask us to lean closer. \"Can you keep a secret?\" the poems say. This is a book of lost friendships and lost loves, the world an \"Ever rotating exhibit of light and dark,\" the regrets we have decades later over \"what can go wrong \/ without the right words.\" Throughout, the speaker-always a mother who fears the future-worries about English vocabulary and newly learned Italian phrases, as if learning language might teach us to mourn more easily this difficult present or help us to find, at last, a place we might call home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Jehanne Dubrow, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eauthor of Civilians \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMiller, Chloe Yelena:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Chloe Yelena Miller is a writer and teacher living in Washington, D.C., with her partner and their child.
