{"product_id":"the-hungriest-stars-poems-9780892556304","title":"The Hungriest Stars: Poems","description":"With language flush with and supercharged by Eros, Carey Salerno's third book is a poet's elegy to her uterus, her love letter penned in an overcrowded room to autonomy and desire. Having been debilitated and rendered infertile by endometriosis, endured rounds of infertility treatments that landed her in miscarriage and selective reduction treatments, and suffered a cancer scare that left her body incapable of conceiving, Carey Salerno responds with these maximalist poems. Through them, she dives headfirst into the world with an intense hunger to live to the fullest, to release the shame the she has amassed about her own body and its refusals to function, reflecting on and redefining what it means to be a woman when so much is taken from her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSalerno, Carey:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eCarey Salerno is the author of three books of poetry, \u003cem\u003eThe Hungriest Stars\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTributary\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eShelter\u003c\/em\u003e.
