The idea of \u003cem\u003eSharp Pencil \u003c\/em\u003eis that it offers keen observations about life. It has a loose story arc that references the act of drawing. Section headings called Lines, Shade and so on to Last pages, place the reader within a poetic world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCouplets jive with tercets and quatrains. Melancholy heats the memories that are revealed or confessed and a sense of loss and longing caresses the tips of its met- aphors and the warm stomach of its everyday mode of undress. At the same time, \u003cem\u003eSharp Pencil's \u003c\/em\u003enostalgia for the past brightly steps us into the present and calls forth hopefulness and chants out themetres of love. These are \u003cem\u003esettling \u003c\/em\u003epoems, refusing to let go of the five o'clock shad- ows they fall upon, while drawing back the net cardinal curtains to let the new day in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSean Redmond, 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joe Pascoe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0645472506\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780645472509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Reading Sideways Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.48h x 4.72w x 0.38d","brand":"Joe Pascoe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435621888255,"sku":"9780645472509","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2154a0a0-1a7e-4801-8a4e-b3db23d6a062.jpg?v=1777151589","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sharp-pencil-joe-pascoe-9780645472509","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
