{"product_id":"see-my-feathered-fingers-elaine-barker-9781760417543","title":"See My Feathered Fingers","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Elaine Barker analyses the natural world, the home and places beyond; not with the eye of the detached onlooker but compassionately inhabiting the minds of fellow travellers, from the tough tattooed man to the accident victim, from a baby in a shawl to a merry cemetery. They celebrate the commonplace - \u003cem\u003enot the pots and pans of life\u003c\/em\u003e - but precise moments like a spider's web \u003cem\u003eglinting threads strung from its bridge line \/ each silk strand spun with dewdrops \/ each glistening sharp and fine\u003c\/em\u003e. An entire world held within a single feather. Sparrows which \u003cem\u003ecasually flit \/ in and out of life\u003c\/em\u003e; snatches of memory or loss of memory, past and present fused into exquisitely discrete moments, \u003cem\u003epickpocketing memories not mere scraps of existence\u003c\/em\u003e. Worlds and histories evoked by a brooch, a brass button or a mended vase; mere objects until they intersect with humanity. These poems sparkle like the sun through peppertrees \u003cem\u003eglinting through lacy foliage\u003c\/em\u003e...' - Rob Walker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'There is a Zen-like stillness in Elaine Barker's new collection which is always assured in its clear notes. There are new experiences in Asia and a willingness to reference other forms of art, which inspire deep meditation. Her poetry issues an arresting peace.' - Brian Castro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaine Barker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760417548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760417543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ginninderra Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.19d","brand":"Elaine Barker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486005637375,"sku":"9781760417543","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34815f60-3656-413d-bb5e-4c3f482a2fa1.jpg?v=1778053035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/see-my-feathered-fingers-elaine-barker-9781760417543","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
