As always, she is a poet of dark hilarity and telling social comment. Shifting between poetic and vulgar registers, the surreal imagery of her early work is re-deployed to venture into the badlands of the human psyche. Her poems hold their subjects in an unflinching grip, addressing faces behind the veneer, asking what it is that keeps us alive. These days of prohibition are days of intoxication and inebriation, rehab in a desert and adultery for atheists, until finally Bird edges us out of danger, 'revving on a wish'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Bird\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784104787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784104788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.20w x 0.20d","brand":"Caroline Bird","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906930856191,"sku":"9781784104788","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed6efe1a-4bf6-4f87-81ed-fce0e3c6ab42.jpg?v=1748771805","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-these-days-of-prohibition-caroline-bird-9781784104788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
