Varied and original, the tales in \u003ci\u003eFor You, For You I Am Trilling These Songs\u003c\/i\u003e recount the perils of falling in love with the unlikeliest of people, of visiting the New York apartments of a vanished poet, and of touring an animal retirement home with her parents. Of getting a Brazilian wax, and of chauffeuring a U.S. senator around town. Of saying good–bye to a cousin who's joining a convent, and of trying to convince herself that she's not wasting her life. This is a book about love and longing, poetry and plagiarism, death and democracy, mountain floods and Midwestern cicadas. Here is a young woman struggling to find her place as an adult and a citizen in an America that rarely manages to live up to Whitman's dream of it. With this book, Rooney sings—yes, in fact, she \u003ci\u003etrills\u003c\/i\u003e—loud and clear.Praise for \u003ci\u003eLive Nude Girl\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This esoteric, organic meditation on life as an art object is itself a model of personal writing, perfect for those on either side of the easel.\" \u003ci\u003e—Publishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Rooney . . . explores the territory between female beauty and intelligence, art and pornography, object and observer—even the border between life and death—with insight and passion.\" \u003ci\u003e—The Los Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eKathleen Rooney\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eReading with Oprah: The Book Club that Changed America\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the poetry collections \u003ci\u003eOneiromance (An Epithalamion)\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSomething Really Wonderful\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThat Tiny Insane Voluptuousness\u003c\/i\u003e, the latter two written collaboratively with Elisa Gabbert.
