Much has been written about the drug epidemic, but only LaRue understands the all-consuming hunger that drives it: \"the idea that being drugged\/is better than being alive.\" The ghost of Anne Sexton, who was also driven by such hungers, presides over these poems, as rich with imagery as hers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Julie Kane\u003c\/strong\u003e, Professor Emeritus, Northwestern State University, and Poet Laureate 2011-2013\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 76\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.18 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67926507487486,"sku":"9781646621590","price":20.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0826\/8716\/4670\/files\/MsuHlaSXX9781646621590.webp?v=1793449913","url":"https:\/\/123learningstore.com\/products\/an-enemy-in-their-mouths-paperback","provider":"123 Learning Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
