{"product_id":"rounding-the-horn-collected-poems-book-jon-stallworthy-9781857541632","title":"Rounding the Horn: Collected Poems","description":"Jon Stallworthy, the son and grandson of New Zealanders, rounded the Horn en route to his birth in London. He began writing poems at seven, during - and about - the Second World War. The conflict and his colonial inheritance gave him a sense of 'the round earth's imagined corners' and the presence of the past which informs such of his best-known work as 'No Ordinary Sunday', 'A Letter from Berlin' and 'The Almond Tree'.   His first book established him as a poet with 'a gift few poets possess, and which all poets wish for - the ability to strike out a memorable and epigrammatic line which is at once simple and deeply disturbing' (Critical Quarterly). That has remained the hallmark of his poetry. Here he provides a comprehensive selection of what Poetry Review described as 'snatches of radio traffic from this century's storms, true stories ... and some of the storytelling inspired'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49594636992785,"sku":"GOR005062257","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53448419180817,"sku":"GOR004903102","price":8.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1857541634.jpg?v=1751249918","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/products\/rounding-the-horn-buch-jon-stallworthy-9781857541632","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
