{"product_id":"just-then-harry-ricketts-9780864738226","title":"Just Then","description":"In his new collection, renowned writer and poet Harry Ricketts finds room for three songs written in Hong Kong in 1975 and a 1979 poem about a war poet. Other poems remember departed friends and early experiences and celebrate the abiding pleasures of reading, writing, and cricket. With titles for the poems as diverse as \"Quarantine Island,\" \"Flanneled fools,\" and \"You can learn stuff from detective novels,\" Ricketts upholds his reputation for skill using dramatic and satiric tones, exploiting rhyme and other traditional devices, and making wry commentaries. Formally adroit, \u003ci\u003eJust Then\u003c\/i\u003e is by turns tender, funny, and often surprising.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Ricketts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0864738226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780864738226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Harry Ricketts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48483730948351,"sku":"9780864738226","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f628a93-c7a9-4fbf-b712-361213609fce.jpg?v=1778040286","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/just-then-harry-ricketts-9780864738226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
