{"product_id":"open-workings-iain-bamforth-9781857542578","title":"Open Workings","description":"Iain Bamforth's third collection applies carnival licence to various kinds of histories: personal, symbolic, ethnographic, social--even to a history of representations in the 101 epigrams and \"autographemes\" that make up the Paris sequence \"Impediments.\" Away from the city, the narratives of patients based on his experience as a country doctor in the south west of Scotland, and the poems set in a mining town in the Australian outback, contribute to the social history of their communities as they examine how far a rural doctor--\"a fortunate man\" in John Berger's phrase--can negotiate against the sheer weight of common sense.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iain Bamforth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857542576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857542578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Iain Bamforth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486205489407,"sku":"9781857542578","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_716b2a8f-14d0-429e-8181-ac591046856d.jpg?v=1778054350","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/open-workings-iain-bamforth-9781857542578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
