{"product_id":"taking-words-for-a-walk-ralph-thompson-9781845231958","title":"Taking Words for a Walk","description":"Ambition, rebellion, loss of innocence, memory, love, death and spiritual yearning are just some of the themes these poems explore. With an underlying seriousness leavened by wit and a self-deprecating humor, this collection engages in a dialogue that is both intensely Jamaican and universal. Featuring free verse, rhymed quatrains, haikus, and villanelles--in patois and standard English--this book also explores the dynamics, personal and social, of being a white poet in a black country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ralph Thompson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845231953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845231958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peepal Tree Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.30w x 0.50d","brand":"Ralph Thompson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486174785791,"sku":"9781845231958","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48ce3adf-135c-4fbf-8a1f-b369921ca94f.jpg?v=1778054170","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/taking-words-for-a-walk-ralph-thompson-9781845231958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
