{"product_id":"trawlermans-turquoise-matthew-caley-9781780374888","title":"Trawlerman's Turquoise","description":"Trawlerman's Turquoise, Matthew Caley's sixth collection, features various seemingly recherch  elements - telepathy, Madame Blavatsky, epistolary novels, muse worship, Balzac's coffee addiction and Thomas Merton's accidental electrocution amongst them - not always as straightforward 'subject matter', but caught up in the backdraft of the poems' acceleration. The book's title derives from the long, central, hyper-associative poem, 'from The Foldings' - trawlerman's turquoise being a phrase to describe a psychic glimpse of the ocean for perennial inner-city dwellers, who have only ever heard rumour of one. Caley's lyrics and love poems are poised between sincerity and its inverse, and a seeming 'parallel world', which gradually emerges, sits at odds with, and sheds light on, the current state of our actual world - full of melting borders, random dangers, shifting identities, misread communiqu s, false reports and information overload - destabilising and exhilarating in equal measure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Caley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780374887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780374888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloodaxe Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Matthew Caley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46867112132863,"sku":"9781780374888","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7c653736-9931-4187-af6b-84aa391ea9dd.jpg?v=1747453922","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trawlermans-turquoise-matthew-caley-9781780374888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
