{"product_id":"9780571384990","title":"Selected Poems by Maurice Riordan","description":"Jack Underwood's selection from Maurice Riordan's work over the last forty years allows us to rediscover a poet whose musicality, wit and emotional acuity rank him as a leading poet of his and any generation.\u003cp\u003eResponding to the imaginative range of Riordan's preoccupations, Underwood creates a dynamic arrangement for poems rooted in particularities of time and place, yet enduring in their audacious inventions and pungent ironies. They are compelling in their immediacy, whether they evoke a childhood in rural Co. Cork, describe a remote community that has taken to the treetops to sing, or itemise the novelties and effronteries of aging. Riordan's work appears here as it demands to be read: at once contemporary and timeless, vibrant with the anxieties and pleasures of being alive in the here and now.\u003c\/p\u003e,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Binding: Paperback,\u003cbr\u003ePagination: 152 pages","brand":"FABER \u0026 FABER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46107819966691,"sku":"9780571384990","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1701\/6275\/files\/9780571384990.jpg?v=1741627493","url":"https:\/\/www.harbourbookshop.co.uk\/products\/9780571384990","provider":"The Harbour Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
