{"product_id":"the-giddings-john-greening-9781869848286","title":"The Giddings","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn unnamed traveller is distracted from his business trip by a sign 'To the Giddings'. He sets off walking through the Huntingdonshire landscape, with its Civil War associations and modern military bases, past wind turbines and fragments of ancient woodland, the trees providing a commentary in a variety of verse forms - lyrical, sardonic, admonitory. But it turns out that he is also walking through time and, after a powerful encounter with Nicholas Ferrar in 17th-century Little Gidding, towards a mysterious metamorphosis. In the tradition of \u003cem\u003eThe Pilgrim's Progress\u003c\/em\u003e, and owing something to Ted Hughes's \u003cem\u003eGaudete\u003c\/em\u003e, this ingenious and musical interweaving of verse and prose continues John Greening's earlier series of long 'dream poems'. Composed before the pandemic, \u003cem\u003eThe Giddings\u003c\/em\u003e still tells a highly relevant story about a search for spiritual meaning and the power of nature in dark times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Greening\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1869848284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781869848286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mica Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.10d","brand":"John Greening","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48453943722239,"sku":"9781869848286","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b726e2c6-ac27-4ab3-97da-d25a3c728337.jpg?v=1777303182","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-giddings-john-greening-9781869848286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
