The book’s title foregrounds the anonymity it seeks through several means: first, through close observation (a concrete saw, a goshawk, a bicyclist); and, second, via translation (satires from Horace and Catullus, and excerpts from Virgil’s \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e). Uniquely among contemporary poetry volumes, \u003ci\u003eAnyone\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates fluency in the paradoxes of a religious existence: “To stand sometime \/ outside my faith . . . or keep waiting \/ to be claimed in it.” Engaged with theology and the classics but never abstruse, all the while the poems remain grounded in the phenomenal, physical world of “what it is to feel: \/  moods, half moods, \/ swarming, then darting loose.”","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080145289456,"sku":"9780226197005","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780226197005_p0.jpg?v=1763674236","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780226197005","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
