{"product_id":"the-time-of-the-angels-susan-watson-9781667171975","title":"The Time of the Angels","description":"'The Time of the Angels' is a sequence of poems in which a young woman reads and re-reads Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte D'Arthur' during the winter and spring of 1979. She is researching and writing an undergraduate dissertation, but her encounter with Malory is also a highly personal one; she perceives the centrality of 'chances, choices, prophecies, destinies, past and future time' and responds to an atmosphere of 'loss soaking backwards through the pages like a tide receding'. And there is Malory's voice: 'a plain voice, threading beads'. Time, like the weather, seems frozen. The 'winter of discontent' with its strife and strikes is only a faint hum in the background, as is the approaching General Election. Time is also a long corridor in which a reader can walk briskly back and forth, knowing and still not knowing what will happen, experiencing events as accidental rather than inevitable. During the reading and re-reading, while the narrative continues, the reign of Arthur feels eternal and everlasting, but it must end, and badly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Watson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1667171976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781667171975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.07d","brand":"Susan Watson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485807456511,"sku":"9781667171975","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14081bc7-327a-4e60-995d-36ed7522854d.jpg?v=1778051728","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-time-of-the-angels-susan-watson-9781667171975","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
