Its concern is with a sense of the sacred, and the possibility of renewing words such as 'spirit' and 'soul' in a materialist culture. But it celebrates the material world too, drawing upon nature and history in Hooker's native Hampshire and his adoptive South Wales. It contains a number of elegies, paying tribute to friends, and to poets such as T. S. Eliot, David Gascoyne, and Christopher Middleton, and the Americans James Schuyler and Charles Reznikoff. \u003cem\u003eWord and Stone\u003c\/em\u003e is concerned overall with 'quickness' how words may animate stone, and intimate the life of the dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Hooker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1848616724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781848616721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shearsman Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Jeremy Hooker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48486200705279,"sku":"9781848616721","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5c61e5b9-4b04-4640-a862-b091283af3e7.jpg?v=1778054318","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/word-and-stone-jeremy-hooker-9781848616721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
