{"product_id":"books-dear-hermes-by-michelle-smith","title":"dear Hermes...","description":"By turns joyous and adventurous, melancholy and nostalgic, Michelle Smith's debut collection of poems showcases a wide-ranging fascination with places, people, and story. Smith's limpid and humane handling of an array of themes, emotions, and styles-her Norwegian ancestry, her Canadian Prairie heritage, the significance of family, the fragility of memory, world travel, ekphrasis, myth, and more-exemplifies the lyric self on a poetic grand tour, or pilgrimage, to meet the world. Framed by imaginative travelogues addressed to Greek gods, dear Hermes... offers readers an escape and an entrance-out of time and into the poet's luminous experience. Readers who appreciate clear lyric and fleet voicing will relish Smith's poetry.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53506278392081,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780888645975_16c78ef7-0e25-490c-b864-be423129696f.jpg?v=1778108854","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-dear-hermes-by-michelle-smith","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
