Also a Poet explores what happens when we want to do better than our parents, yet fear what that might cost us; when we seek their approval, yet mistrust it. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn reckoning with her unique heritage, as well as providing new insights into the life of one of our most important poets, Calhoun offers a brave and hopeful meditation on parents and children, artistic ambition, and the complexities of what we leave behind.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublished: USA, 2022\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePages: 259\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 13: 9780802159786\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eISBN 10: 0802159788\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ada Calhoun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44912808034570,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/71YQNfAETSL._AC_UY218.jpg?v=1700749265","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/also-a-poet-frank-ohara-my-father-and-me","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
