Beginning with a series of literal love poems (to the word lonesome, to blank space, to doo-wop, to fear, etc.), Pierce whisks the reader on a cross-country road trip (both literally and figuratively) that takes a tangential spree into a series of genre films and ends with gallows humor in the re-imagining of the events surrounding the famous last words of icons like Billy the Kid, Marie Antoinette, Isadora Duncan, and Pancho Villa. From start to finish, Pierce's book is a delight to the senses, a playful, nostalgic dance that ends with the reader wanting more.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49626611974417,"sku":"GOR012850626","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49926566969617,"sku":"CIN0975499076G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52508329771281,"sku":"NIN9780975499078","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0975499076.jpg?v=1751172197"},{"product_id":"wandering-star-tarot-an-80-card-deck-and-guidebook-video-game-9781401964412","title":"The Wandering Star Tarot","description":"Successfully Kickstarted in 2020 by singer\/songwriter Cat Pierce of the sister-band The Pierces, this mystical, magical, healing tarot deck guides you to sharpen your intuition and reconnect with the powerful light and wisdom inside you.

These are poems of questions and restlessness, but also of answers of a sort. As Beth Ann Fennelly writes,  t]he big themes here--self identity, desire, escape--are illuminated with clarity, scored musically, and enlivened with wit. The Girls of Peculiar is a fabulous book.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50370206630161,"sku":"CIN0983368627VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0983368627.jpg?v=1751364433"},{"product_id":"tornado-is-the-world-book-catherine-pierce-9780996220668","title":"The Tornado Is the World","description":"At the heart of acclaimed poet Catherine Pierce's much-anticipated third book, a powerful tornado churns, spinning out poems of disaster and love, of sirens and wrecked landscapes, of warnings heeded and not.

Organized around the hours of the day, Foxes for Everybody gives voice to the marvels, fears, absurdities, and astonishments of parenthood. These essays offer twenty-four glimpses into how we experience time, our families, our planet, and all of those small moments that aren't small at all. In memories and reflections that weave through tornadoes and jellyfish, cemeteries and carousels, mortality, mental health, and the exquisite gift of a perfect sentence, acclaimed writer Catherine Pierce reminds us that fear and joy can and do live side by side, and urges us to stay awake - even when, especially when, we're at the brink of exhaustion - to the possibility of wonder.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52152907268369,"sku":"NGR9780810149533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52939699552529,"sku":"NIN9780810149533","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780810149533.jpg?v=1763474029"},{"product_id":"dear-beast-book-catherine-pierce-9781947817920","title":"Dear Beast","description":"Catherine Pierce' s stunning fifth collection is alive with creatures: blue herons and spiny orbweavers, questioning wolves and very human Beasts.
