For you, for you I am trilling these songs

Description:

"In this collection on life as a twentysomething in the twenty-first century, Kathleen Rooney writes about love and longing, poetry and plagiarism, death and democracy, mountain floods and Midwestern cicadas. Striking a perfect perch between reflection and humor she brings the reader into the room as she gets a Brazilian wax, into the car as she chauffeurs a U.S. senator, and onto the sidewalk with her as she visits the New York apartments of a vanished poet. The perils of falling in love with an unattainable, and of being the unattained love, come together here with her farewell to a cousin who's joining a convent." --Book Jacket.
