{"product_id":"the-last-waltz-d-m-thomas-9781908878229","title":"The Last Waltz: Poems","description":"In both his poetry and his novels, such as the iconic world-bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe White Hotel\u003c\/i\u003e, D. M. Thomas has followed his own vision, ignoring the fashionable and the expected. \u003ci\u003eThe Last Waltz\u003c\/i\u003e is no exception. The impression it leaves is of experience, personal and historical, distilled over a life stretching from the threat of Hitler to the threat to freedom of thought and speech today. The moods vary, from grief to controlled anger to satirical humour; the themes, from falling in love on his first day at Infants school to a royal wedding competing in our news (successfully) with Palestinians being massacred. All explored with immense assurance in a rich variety of forms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'There aren't many poets in England as good as Thomas.' - \u003cb\u003eThe Guardian.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003eD.
