Caddy engages readers with his acerbic wit, his base profundity, his downright honesty, and a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners attitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the blinkers off, this poetic vision comprehends a fulsome picture of human, and animal, experience--a flawed and loved slideshow of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milkweed Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999785336983,"sku":"9781571314277","price":967.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781571314277.webp?v=1783601736","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/with-mouths-open-wide-new-and-selected-poems-9781571314277","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
