The images include depictions of local dog shows, a Moscow circus, a dogfight in Sarajevo and a dog hotel in Japan - and features dogs with jobs as well as beloved pets.

It is above all a portrait of a town. Caught by a passing reference in George Perec's Life: A User's Manual to a \"village on Vancouver Island,\" Culley began to re-imagine his hometown of Nanaimo, not as it is, but as it might be imagined in the mind of a Parisian who had rarely left his city. The poems that make up Hammertown move through realms both linguistic and geographic, in which intersecting Old and New worlds, history, music and science change everyday life with both painful resonance and exotic rapture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50381898154257,"sku":"CIN1554200008VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51170862366993,"sku":"CIN1554200008G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1554200008.jpg?v=1750926186"},{"product_id":"sports-facilities-and-technologies-book-peter-culley-9780415458689","title":"Sports Facilities and Technologies","description":"Developers, designers and operators are increasingly needing to create versatile sport and leisure amenities that are of lasting value to local and wider communities.

But Peter Culley's second book about his hometown Nanaimo stems from his realization that there is not an hour of his waking existence when he cannot somewhere hear a leaf blower, a lawn mower or another piece of Briggs \u0026amp; Stratton-powered machinery. This book was written in a little over a year -- a year which saw droughts in Tofino, floods on the Gulf Coast \u0026amp; Canadian boots on the ground in the never-ending \"war on terror.\" Meanwhile, Hammertown -- Culley's half-imagined version of the place where he lives -- is being ripped apart by corporate boondoggles, accelerating development and the triumph of the service economy. In Culley's bitterly lyrical poems elements of this disappearing world appear as bad jokes, snatches of song and passages of reminiscence. Old records and half-remembered films are arrayed against impending collapse. Like small and noisy engines themselves, Culley's poems address the impossible contradictions of our unnamed era.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51037003415825,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51037006201105,"sku":"NIN9781554200399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1554200393.jpg?v=1751181750"},{"product_id":"sports-facilities-and-technologies-book-peter-culley-9781138880634","title":"Sports Facilities and Technologies","description":"Developers, designers and operators are increasingly needing to create versatile sport and leisure amenities that are of lasting value to local and wider communities.

Hammertown is Georges Perec's invention, an imaginary fishing port on Vancouver Island that Peter Culley recognized as the Oulipo writer's vision of what Nanaimo might be like. In PARKWAY, Culley continues his project of describing Perec's Hammertown from the inside. Deeply musical and infused by Culley's love of rhythm, PARKWAY is an acute and strongly complicit portrayal of a working-class city, and the world of its margins.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51885154894097,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51885155025169,"sku":"GOR014445410","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53228862177553,"sku":"GOR014816888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781554200764.jpg?v=1754562115"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-peter-culley.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
