Communication builds up and breaks down, geese honk, hangovers linger. Figures from Madonna to Magwitch appear, but not necessarily as you know them. Familiar settings - the pub, the library, the farmyard, the house party - are made strange. These are ranging poems with a rangy humour, and warmth as well as wit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lily Blacksell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780377878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780377872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloodaxe Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Lily Blacksell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520794968319,"sku":"9781780377872","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_373cd272-9fb4-4c32-a636-75ddcdc440d6.jpg?v=1762887110","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-immediately-lily-blacksell-9781780377872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
