Here is the poet deeply attuned to the everyday possibilities of love, family, and beauty, and in \u003ci\u003eMatter of Fact\u003c\/i\u003e, he is at his unmistakable best.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Matter of Fact: Poems | Eamon Grennan | Paperback | 9781555975005 | Used: Like New | Poetry 1730487 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48167818002584,"sku":"1730487","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71bL9qJVIFL.jpg?v=1771955098","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/matter-of-fact-poems","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
