Their titles set scenes, such as \"Whisky Drinker Considers his Skirmish with Death,\" A Futurist Looks at a Dog,\" and \"Re-reading Lolita in a Tropical Climate.\" Characters are delineated in swift, ironic strokes, and strange coincidences are celebrated. The peculiar vertigo of travel, a mixture of fear and excitement, permeates many of the poems. Love also induces dizzying states in poems such as \"Tremble\" and its companion piece, \"Tremble, Tremble.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49543220035857,"sku":"GOR007296602","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50701374750993,"sku":"GOR001874203","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854113356.jpg?v=1751439982"},{"product_id":"madame-sassoo-goes-bathing-book-tim-liardet-9781907356643","title":"Madame Sassoo Goes Bathing","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49561521520913,"sku":"GOR013496327","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1907356649.jpg?v=1751379855"},{"product_id":"arcimboldo-s-bulldog-book-tim-liardet-9781784105709","title":"Arcimboldo's Bulldog","description":"In Arcimboldo’s famous seventeenth-century Mannerist portraits, the sitter’s face is composed of organic matter. In subordinating a mixture of elements into an unrelated whole, imagination can transform the medium of expression itself. Tim Liardet’s Arcimboldo’s Bulldog: New and Selected Poems spans nine of his ten award-winning collections and adds new poems, fresh produce, reconfiguring his life’s work to date.  The book draws on his two T. S. Eliot Prize-shortlisted collections The Blood Choir (2006) and The World Before Snow (2015). Vivid images, large abstractions, symbols, allegory, elegy, provocation, confession and lyric find a necessary place in his work. Arcimboldo’s Bulldog records achievement and includes a promissory note towards his next collection.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580594102545,"sku":"GOR009426936","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1784105708.jpg?v=1761990908"},{"product_id":"world-before-snow-book-tim-liardet-9781847772091","title":"The World Before Snow","description":"During a record-breaking blizzard in Boston, two poets met, one American and one English. This meeting marked the beginning of a life-transforming love affair. The story is told in The World Before Snow, Tim Liardet's tenth collection, a book of passionate extremes, in which he discovers new dimensions in language and form. The poems document some of the ways in which a particular species of love can allow for the rediscovery of identity, as all the fragments of persona previously put forth to the world are stripped away to expose a raw new self.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49601884061969,"sku":"GOR007238989","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49652502954257,"sku":"GOR009546806","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52754523914513,"sku":"GOR011616476","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847772099.jpg?v=1750802669"},{"product_id":"clay-hill-book-tim-liardet-9780907476887","title":"Clay Hill","description":"Clay Hill is an exciting first collection which explores the collapse of the remnants of our Victorian and Edwardian past in poems of authentic atmosphere, of beautifully sustained movements and silences. More personal poems exist in this context, relieved by the poet's humour, and his feel for words and their texture.  \"Liardet's poems are as substantial, as polished and as carefully packed as Victorian tallboys\"  Christopher Meredith  \"Tim Liardet is a real discovery. Clay Hill is one of the best first collections from a Welsh publisher in years... there is a secure mastery of the poetry line and a concern for language that is constantly rewarding... a poet of real achievement and exciting potential\"  Tony Curtis  Tim Liardet was born in London and educated at the University of York. He has travelled extensively and worked in the fields of Information Technology and Marketing. Widely published, he currently works as a freelance writer, editor and tutor.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49603314286865,"sku":"GOR013496240","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0907476880.jpg?v=1750705188"},{"product_id":"competing-with-the-piano-tuner-book-tim-liardet-9781854112279","title":"Competing with the Piano Tuner","description":"Tim Liardet's ability to be surprised and enlightened by experience, his relentless curiosity, and his formal skills, create poems of marvellous dramatic pace and intensity. His extended and refined lines cover subjects as diverse as sex, taxi drivers, and icebergs. A number of the poems are concerned with love, desire, and emotion -- often in very physical forms -- through a wide-ranging, constantly changing, use of detail and example. Liardet's previous collection, Clay Hill (1988) and Fellini Beach (1994), are also available from Dufour.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49621415756049,"sku":"GOR007929808","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53341862101265,"sku":"GOR006013080","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1854112279.jpg?v=1750802938"},{"product_id":"blood-choir-book-tim-liardet-9781854114143","title":"The Blood Choir","description":"Talks about teaching poetry in prison.
