At the heart of this collection, a son has died on the cusp of his first breath, but the book's stakes are larger and more universal than a single, silent, foreshortened life. Ranging from personal lyrics to monologues in persona, from triolets to a modified crown of sonnets, from surreal fantasy to natural landscape, George David Clark's poems sing of the brutality of time and the beauty that transcends it.\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":52681527263512,"sku":"9780807181270","price":15.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/newly-not-eternal-paperback-softback-9780807181270","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
