In this lyric coming-of-age, Degenaars writes with clarity and vulnerability about those caught between responsibility and abandon, love and self-erasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems follow a speaker in flux-lover, daughter, would-be mother-as she questions what it means to survive, and even celebrate, the in-between. \"Despite all I've tried, I am myself. Still,\" the speaker confesses, reckoning with a self she can't quite shake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDegenaars searches for meaning in the small details-hailing a cab, folding laundry, changing in a window. This is a collection about how ordinary life can break us open, an unforgettable meditation on what can't be left behind. These poems are emotionally exact and quietly defiant; they explore how longing threatens and shapes us. \"Who'd hide from this,\" the speaker asks, \"the almost tender-who'd dare?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.17 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 28, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43155695140927,"sku":"9781594981791","price":24.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/KCe6jSsQW_9781594981791.webp?v=1776966060","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/thin-glass-poems-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
