It is elegies for lost friends and odes to absent ones, the poet himself suffering in sickness yet never despondent. There is real joy here, a vivacious voice confined to a wheelchair and singing out to the world. The poems themselves are both relics contained within a reliquary and the reliquary itself, yet they are also alive with the witty and masterful plays of language for which Hine is best known. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daryl Hine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1554552257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554552252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fitzhenry \u0026amp; Whiteside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.68w x 0.20d","brand":"Daryl Hine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799049122047,"sku":"9781554552252","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-reliquary-and-other-poems-daryl-hine-9781554552252","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
