{"product_id":"perceptions-gillian-bickley-9789888228560","title":"Perceptions","description":"PERCEPTIONS consists of short pieces, poetry or poem-like essays, written over a period of thirty years, on various serious and reflective topics, but with some humorous and occasional work too. As in Gillian Bickley's previous collections, the subjects occur internationally: this time, in the Pyrenees, Nigeria, Hawai'i, Albania, as well as Hong Kong. Taken as a whole, this fifth poetry collection recognizes the need for shelter and survival, the desire for love, for achievement, for feelings of self-worth, for objects on which to bestow reciprocal affection and the search for high-order achievements beyond the self. Reaching beyond this, Perceptions considers the needs of other species, our responsibilities towards them and the fragile environment that we all share.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gillian Bickley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9888228560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789888228560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Proverse Hong Kong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.20d","brand":"Gillian Bickley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48089184665855,"sku":"9789888228560","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7a8db68-63eb-412e-b1ef-91d27503c852.jpg?v=1769108677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/perceptions-gillian-bickley-9789888228560","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
