{"product_id":"a-stone-dog-aidan-semmens-9781848611658","title":"A Stone Dog","description":"\u003cp\u003eThirty-some years in journalism have left little obvious trace in Aidan Semmens's poetry - though, like the sports headlines he wrote for the\u003cem\u003e News of the World, \u003c\/em\u003e his verse is grounded in word-play and natural speech rhythms. In his first full-length collection he engages death, complexity, and the Authorised Version, which provides several of his titles. Other sources for his language include news magazines, war diaries, popular science and psychology texts, overheard phrases and the 2001 Aldeburgh Festival programme. This is a poetry of ideas and allusions, where, as in music or dream, any hinted-at narrative is liable to be subverted, taken to unexpected ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aidan Semmens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184861165X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848611658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.19d","brand":"Aidan Semmens","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440074862847,"sku":"9781848611658","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e2c6c0f9-a28d-479e-8109-2c65928c202f.jpg?v=1777180272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-stone-dog-aidan-semmens-9781848611658","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
