It is a meditation on the country he studies through the lens of all he has learned from fatherhood. The poems are manifestations of Smith's wisdom and latest observations, starting with the precarious birth of his son, to the current political and social state of the country, to childhood memories, and back again. Smith traverses the periods of his life from four different cities and the process of realizing what it means to build a life that orbits around his family. Amid all of it, he has watched as the country has been forced to confront the ugliest manifestations of itself, and has thought about what it means to raise children amid the backdrop of political tumult. Smith is a poet who uses the form to interrogate his own autobiography and the state of the country today, affording those who prefer reading poetry a shot of news, and those who normally seek out nonfiction, some lyrical beauty"-- Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2421109</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2421109</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Smith, Clint]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2421109163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Poems</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780316543033/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1371521016</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The New One]]></title><description><![CDATA["Mike Birbiglia never wanted to be a father. In fact, there are seven very specific reasons he never wanted a kid, including his aversion to sticky surfaces and his less-than-ideal genes: he's had Lyme Disease, a bladder tumor, diabetes, and dangerous sleepwalking, to name a few. Not to mention the fact that Mike generally doesn't think people (including himself) are really all that great.

In a hilarious memoir about the trials and tribulations of parenting, Mike Birbiglia shares anecdotes all parents can relate to, including laugh-out-loud observations on the lead up to being a parent, the birth of the baby, and the very messy aftermath of bringing this new one home...for a forever stay! Borne out of and based on his Broadway show The New One, and entirely expanded upon with at least 50% new material for this book, new dad Birbiglia will have you crying from laughter and smiling with joy as he falls in love with baby Oona, despite how smelly she is!

Kenney covers it all, from newborns, toddlers, and sleep deprivation, to the terrible twos, terrible tweens, and terrible teens. A parent's love is unconditional, but sometimes that button can't help but be pushed. Between back to school shopping, summer vacations that never end, the awkwardness of puberty, the inevitable post-college moving back in, and more, a parent's job is never done, whether they like it or not" --Amazon.com]]></description><link>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2316936</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S163C2316936</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kenney, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://aclibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2316936163</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>(for People With Children)</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593085240/MC.GIF&amp;client=alamedacounty&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1122686558</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Vrednye sovety i drugie vesëlye istorii]]></title><description><![CDATA[The heroes of this book love to have fun: they joke, give bad advice, invite the reader to play games or solve a task, draw something and play tricks together.
