{"product_id":"listening-in-lynley-edmeades-9781988531786","title":"Listening in","description":"In this original second collection, Lynley Edmeades turns her attention to ideas of sound, listening, and speech. \u003ci\u003eListening In \u003c\/i\u003eis full of the verbal play and linguistic experimentation that characterised her first collection, but it also shows the poet pushing the form into new territories. Her poems show, often sardonically, how language can be undermined: linguistic registers are rife with uncertainties, ambiguities, and accidental comedy. She shuffles and reshuffles statements and texts, and assumes multiple perspectives with the skill of a ventriloquist. These poems probe political rhetoric and linguistic slippages with a sceptical eye, and highlight the role of listening--or the errors of listening--in everyday communication. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lynley Edmeades\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988531780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988531786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Otago University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Lynley Edmeades","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486703726847,"sku":"9781988531786","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6bc8108-423f-41f8-9439-53fc83f7aaca.jpg?v=1778056395","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/listening-in-lynley-edmeades-9781988531786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
