These are poems conducted at ground level, at walking pace, attentive to the changing of the light, of the seasons, of the certainties we thought we were growing up with. Here are poems about the American Midwest, the English midlands, the low country of Flanders; about flax, fieldfares, rivers, fathers and brothers, lovers, fabrics, sewing, sowing, grammar, bicycles, umbrellas, rain and snow, fading light, damp houses, tea, gardens, glass jars, distance, language, breath, touch, and the strangeness of metaphor. These are poems to attend to, return to, and share with the community of readers who either already adore ? ireann Lorsung's work or are about to discover it.' \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThreaded through with filaments of others' poems, \u003ci\u003ePattern-book\u003c\/i\u003e's sonnets, couplets, quatrains and invented forms draw on family life, art history, grief, time and the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ?ireann Lorsung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800174853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800174856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"?ireann Lorsung","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881290682623,"sku":"9781800174856","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d2088624-fbf1-40ae-966f-fcd3fa1bb674.jpg?v=1747971233","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pattern-book-ireann-lorsung-9781800174856","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
