{"product_id":"cairn-richie-mccaffery-9780992758912","title":"Cairn","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichie McCaffery's debut collection of poems, \u003cem\u003eCairn\u003c\/em\u003e, begins in a dedication and ends with ghosts - in between lies hoards of artefacts and long-forgotten antiquities; a police whistle, a tarnished silver spoon, the bookmark lodged in a boring book decades before that sings of a lost age. These poems find their stories in the overlooked places of everyday, and take utter delight in the unexpected image and turn of phrase. Soaring, often short and bitter-sweet, the poems form markers in the landscape of love, lore and family, making mementoes to the buried and the living.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichie McCaffery\u003c\/strong\u003e (b. 1986) lives in Stirling and studies and works as a teaching assistant at The University of Glasgow.
