{"product_id":"othernesses-jane-cornwell-9781739323103","title":"Othernesses","description":"Hidden in plain sight, there is a great mystery if we look closely. In the form of Shakespearean sonnets, Paul Brookes highlights and celebrates the extraordinary undercurrents of life flowing. If we look further and deeper, we see the \u003ci\u003eOthernesses\u003c\/i\u003e. In this playful and innovative collection Paul Brookes allows us to meet and celebrate the small and the overlooked, and in the process, consider our relationship with them and each other. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"What these poems give us are the things themselves, irreducibly multifarious and often quite alien. Nothing here is romanticised or presented in soft-focus: the poet uses his words in high-definition to show us the world in all its myriad strangeness.\" \u003ci\u003eAndy MacGregor\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul Brookes gives the \u003ci\u003eOthernesses\u003c\/i\u003e their say. Among others, we meet the humble Cockroach, sharing his spoils and leaving no waste, indignant Houseflies, neat and fleeting Earwigs and more, all concerned with the constant battle for survival. A brilliant and uplifting way to consider the human condition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This is an excellent collection... the energy and control is superb - and at times delightfully playful and dark.\" \u003ci\u003eDavid Morley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Cornwell,Paul Brookes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1739323106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781739323103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane's Studio Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Jane Cornwell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48873801449727,"sku":"9781739323103","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/othernesses-jane-cornwell-9781739323103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
