Their subjects and inspirations range widely in scope, yet each poem reads with a clear-eye sense of place, time, and personal significance unique to its source. Through the agile and abstracted language of poetry, Cara Lorello recounts scenes from a rural upbringing in the Pacific Northwest observed from the back of a horse, on long-distance travels between estranged family, repeated bouts of mental illness, late-bloomer love and loss, up to her present existence as a day job-working poet. The result, however odd or imperfect, reveals an unfiltered portrait of a writer whose greatest challenge is the balancing act of meeting the demands of a puzzling world with her drive to create in spite of everything. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344522142003,"sku":"9798899903953","price":40.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/mCDOTsbet39798899903953.webp?v=1778725848","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/but-for-this-mess-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
