He explores the natural order in dialogue—sometimes playful, sometimes grave—with a personal realm of love, mortality, and the history embedded in the language we exchange. \t\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cbr\u003e \tWhether describing the birdlife he sees even during wintertime, speculating on the voices heard by sleeping sailors at sea, or writing a love poem he cannot read to his departed wife, Galvin remains a poet of consummate skill and powerful emotion who works the narrative lyric with great precision of attention, flexibility of tone, and expressivity of figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"LSU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551798849816,"sku":"9780807184769","price":14.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/in-plentys-woods-poems-paperback-softback-9780807184769","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
