{"product_id":"nevermore-andrew-mcneillie-9781903039021","title":"Nevermore","description":"Nevermore is an elegy for lost times and threatened things. It celebrates recollection and the 'immortality of youth', and youth's passions: for natural history (as in the group of bird poems entitled 'Plato's Aviary'), for the naive curiosity and lust of adolescent 'love', for adventuresome escape (as in the docu-poem rhapsody 'Lines from an Aran Journal'), and for the elusive prize of poetry itself.\u003cbr\u003e The poems traffic across borders, between the 1950s and 1960s and the present, between Wales, Scotland and Ireland, fish and fowl, coastal town and wilderness, material realities and\u003cbr\u003e transcendent dreams, and confused claims of cultural identity, Welsh and Scottish and neither.\u003cbr\u003e Nevermore speaks from a world where family as rural tribe, rooted in place, has given way to a rootless diaspora, its history at risk of erasure, for worse, and for better. It is post-United Kingdom, in a spirit that, if it could make anything happen, would will the good republic into being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew McNeillie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1903039029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781903039021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.58h x 5.34w x 0.26d","brand":"Andrew McNeillie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486241108223,"sku":"9781903039021","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a784e3c4-6e1b-4934-b5a1-18d4d8b0dc73.jpg?v=1778054498","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nevermore-andrew-mcneillie-9781903039021","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
