Seventeen years later and four collections on, the tide has certainly come in and, as we note from our precarious vantage point in Western Europe, is rising month on month. Immortal Wreckage is Will Stone's fifth collection and the poems collected here were nourished by the profoundly unsettling years of the Covid pandemic, and the ongoing societal implosion in its wake. The poems of Immortal Wreckage attempt to gain purchase on this dystopian landscape, the poet's raptor like eye passing like a lighthouse beam in the darkness with regular insistence, illuminating the vainglorious landscape of new ruins we have built, overseen by political coteries of charlatans and charismatic psychopaths - this immortal wreckage we bequeath to our descendants.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51052714688785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51052716818705,"sku":"NIN9781848619425","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52682939236625,"sku":"NLS9781848619425","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53107528597777,"sku":"GOR014745424","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848619421.jpg?v=1751412235"},{"product_id":"glaciation-book-will-stone-9781848614581","title":"Glaciation","description":"Will Stone was named a 'European-leaning maverick' by Hugo Williams in the TLS, which may explain why his remarkable voice was unjustly neglected until this volume first appeared. Stone's poems have a visionary edge to them, replete as they are with a powerful imagery both sublime and unsettling. Suffused with melancholy and a sometimes apocalyptic morbidity, his poetry is also lyrically tender and elegiac, focusing on both the trauma of mankind pinioned by an ever increasing existential insecurity in a debased natural world and the consolation of revealing a poetic 'spiritual' essence still active in certain landscapes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51189421310225,"sku":"NIN9781848614581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52341445230865,"sku":"NLS9781848614581","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848614586.jpg?v=1751155050"},{"product_id":"drawing-in-ash-book-will-stone-9781848614598","title":"Drawing in Ash","description":"Drawing in Ash, is prize-winning poet Will Stone's second collection. These compelling poems are divided into three parts, dealing with subjects such as war and genocide, and the Roman ruins of Provence - historic realities which are unpalatable and to which our current society, despite the indulgence of drawing on a vast intellectual and historical warehouse, is unable to properly determine or clarify. The poems of Provence, in particular, deal with the nature of the plethora of ancient ruins that emerge from the earth in that region, like the stubborn backbones of some pre-historic creature, and their peculiar poetic significance for us today. These poems come from a real existential engagement and follow the old dictum that a poet must respond to his time, how things are now, whilst not letting history off the hook.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51189448802577,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51189450244369,"sku":"NIN9781848614598","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52341414887697,"sku":"NLS9781848614598","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848614594.jpg?v=1750963634"},{"product_id":"slowing-ride-book-will-stone-9781848617162","title":"The Slowing Ride","description":"Will Stone reclaims here his role of cerebral journeyman: an inveterate trawler of history, moving between epochs and events, between personalities, cultures and landscapes, leaving behind delicate silken threads of suggestion, salvaging what remains of the humanistic in delineating the replicating tragedies and punishments endured by the fallen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52677904597265,"sku":"NLS9781848617162","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781848617162.jpg?v=1762306919"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-will-stone.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
