{"product_id":"9780571384990","title":"Selected poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack 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 this and any generation. Responding 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: as at once contemporary and timeless, vibrant with the anxieties and pleasures of being alive in the here and now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber \u0026 Faber","offers":[{"title":"Maurice \/ Riordan","offer_id":55361430684021,"sku":"9780571384990","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9780571384990.jpg?v=1746886371","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9780571384990","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
