{"product_id":"nightshift-workers-book-george-charlton-9781852240707","title":"Nightshift Workers","description":"'George Charlton's poetry does more than touch on the harsh realities of life in the modern industrial city. Instead, his writing issues from somewhere very close to the warm, affectionate and wholehearted centre of the Tyneside and Northumberland where he lives. It is a generous poetry, urban in its awareness of lives other than his own, as well as industrial dynasties, work, imperial foolishness and a manipulative economy; and it is natural in its perceptions of 'the slick regimes of leaf'. It is also maritime in its recognitions of the Tyne's business with the sea and ships. It is an unfussy, clear poetry, but often mysterious in its lyricism. For all its rootedness, it is far from regional, but a poetry of place and community in which a perceiving self gasps to understand the everyday and its resonances. I recommend it.' - Douglas Dunn","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49585809916177,"sku":"GOR003201277","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49633005502737,"sku":"GOR005394265","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1852240709.jpg?v=1751457413","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/nightshift-workers-book-george-charlton-9781852240707","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
