{"product_id":"gain-of-function-peter-hague-9781838274627","title":"Gain of Function: One hundred and two poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a great deal more than the sum of one hundred and two poems. It represents a shift in creative potential which is exactly described by its title: '\u003cstrong\u003eGain of Function\u003c\/strong\u003e', which you may well recognise as a phrase relating to science. However, within the sphere of this book, \u003cstrong\u003eGain of Function\u003c\/strong\u003e mostly represents a collision between past and future in which my long-developed ways of working have been hit by enormous positive change and new possibilities - all driven by the advent of social media and the seismic changes in the world of publishing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The very recent work presented in this book is unique amongst my output, because for the first time I was faced with the possibility that whichever poem I was working on, it could be immediately presented to the public, and indeed to the world via social media. This new reality created a completely different working atmosphere. The sudden, tense focus of instantaneous publishing added a whole new factor of concentration, necessary confidence and embedded topicality - specifically the poems dealing with the recent virus and some aspects of politics and the media. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hague\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838274626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838274627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hague\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.34d","brand":"Peter Hague","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850446582015,"sku":"9781838274627","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gain-of-function-peter-hague-9781838274627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
