{"product_id":"my-florida-9780979393464","title":"My Florida","description":"Kathleen Tyler's Florida is a wild and terrifying place, a savage place-but \"what was savage, I adored,\" she tells us. And so these poems are full of the deepest kind of heartbreak, too, the kind of heartbreak that's irreparable. \"Death cures of our terror\/of death,\" Tyler writes, \"What cure is there for the terror of love?\" In My Florida, a hubcap scuds across the road, a child hides under an ironing board while her mother is beaten, a heron with orange eyes feasts on hatchling alligators, and a girl swings a bag of snakes tied with a pink, satiny ribbon, asking, \"Oh, whose porch can I leave it on?\" Tyler's poems are often shocking, always brave, and bravely, shockingly beautiful.
