{"product_id":"on-days-such-as-this-gail-dendy-9781990922480","title":"On Days Such as This","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the unusual opening poem (conflating birth with a car crash) to its close (an abandoned suitcase representing an entire lifetime), this book weaves its stories backwards and forwards through time and place. There is insight, sensuality, reflection, surprise, and humour as discovered through various personae - be it a tender mother, a heartbroken widow, or a male poet wrestling with writer's block, as well as in objects such as an old chest of drawers, a bronze-age trumpet, or a piece of string. This compelling collection demonstrates technical and linguistic mastery and genuine philosophical depth. In language that is a joy to read, the poems illuminate the capacity for love, loss, hope, and passion which exists in each and every one of us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Dendy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1990922481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781990922480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Botsotso Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.16d","brand":"Gail Dendy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073488285951,"sku":"9781990922480","price":14.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a7e9d428-d08a-44e5-ae93-731d36944371.jpg?v=1685448113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-days-such-as-this-gail-dendy-9781990922480","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
