{"product_id":"gods-spider-cyril-dabydeen-9781845232443","title":"God's Spider","description":"At the heart of Cyril Dabydeen's poetry is an acute sense of geography as both space and time. It is a sense that begins in personal biography, of the writer born in Guyana, long settled in Canada, and conscious of his ancestral connections to India. Place frequently provides the subject matter and the metaphorical threads that run through the collection, and the poems are drawn to hinterlands and interiors both as actual places and as mental landscapes and as a metaphor for the interior life of the poem--frequently independent of the writer's conscious intentions. He writes with lyric grace, but perhaps his most characteristic voice is conversational, often witty and amused in its sharing of experiences as diverse as the incidents of travel, cricket, and the absurd pretensions of the literary world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cyril Dabydeen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845232445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845232443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peepal Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Cyril Dabydeen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486175179007,"sku":"9781845232443","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b454e9e4-3dab-4220-a278-d7f8e509b505.jpg?v=1778054171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gods-spider-cyril-dabydeen-9781845232443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
