{"product_id":"happiness-martin-harrison-9781742586861","title":"Happiness","description":"Martin Harrison (1949-2014) prepared and delivered this final manuscript at the end of a prolific creative life. With the vulnerability of a lover, the poet peels back one cover of truth after another; reckless for the evidence of the senses, he sifts light, sound, and smell. Poems like the skin of a world: breathing, walking, touching. Martin Harrison's culminating poetic achievement is a crossing over - stylistically, thematically, emotionally. Mapping the tragic chiasmus of love and death, it finally asserts the transcendent power of poetry to bear witness, to join us in a greater communion. Cosmopolitan and local, these triumphs of a 'late style' remind us what poetry is when its mastery allows the irony of existence to walk naked and to exult. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Poetry]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Harrison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1742586864\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742586861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Western Australia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.27d","brand":"Martin Harrison","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442553368831,"sku":"9781742586861","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adb77444-5aa7-411e-8673-0c5262efb19a.jpg?v=1777198161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/happiness-martin-harrison-9781742586861","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
