{"product_id":"all-aberration-poems-9780820334608","title":"All Aberration: Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese are poems of family, of romantic hope and disappointment, of parenthood, and of grief that move from a childhood in Nebraska in which a father strides into a ripe wheat field; to the parks and parking lots of New York City, the interchangeable landscapes of suburban America, and the more sensual environment of secluded water; to little traveled parts of Africa and the Pacific where our customs and passions are refracted into shapes that are sometimes beautiful, sometimes grotesque. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTerese Svoboda writes of a world in which the reassuring simplicity remembered from childhood is difficult to recover. Outside of this vision of the past, all present life seems an aberration--an existence where violence can supplant love, families break apart, a child dies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAll Aberration\u003c\/i\u003e received a starred review in \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, a lead in \u003ci\u003eContemporary Poetry 1986\u003c\/i\u003e and a Notable Book nomination by the American Library Association.
