The Swamp Monster at Home, however, takes new risks, offering a deeper vulnerability and greater maturity; this new collection acknowledges the loves within and outside of marriage and confesses to both the grief and relief of miscarriage. Varied in form, \u003cem\u003eThe Swamp Monster at Home\u003c\/em\u003e offers accessible and rewarding, elegiac yet hopeful poems-an exciting new collection from a remarkable writer.","brand":"Louisiana State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123822805232,"sku":"9780807142820","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780807142820_p0.jpg?v=1763729035","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780807142820","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
