{"product_id":"selected-poems-and-letters-book-isaac-rosenberg-9781900564892","title":"Selected Poems and Letters","description":"'Death could drop from the dark as easily as song - But song only dropped, Like a blind man's dreams on the sand, By dangerous tides, Like a girl's dark hair for she dreams no ruin lies there, Or her kisses where a serpent hides' - from \"Returning, We Hear the Larks' Selected Poems \u0026amp; Letters\". Isaac Rosenberg's poems, such as \"Dead Man's Dump\" and \"Break of Day in the Trenches\", have been included in every significant war anthology and have earned him a place in Poets' Corner.He studied at the Slade School of Art at the same time as Stanley Spencer and Mark Gertler, showing great promise as a painter. His poverty, education and background made him an outsider, yet it was just that experience which equipped him to cope with the horror of war in the trenches: 'I am determined that this war, with all its powers for devastation, shall not master my poeting.' Inexplicably for such a major figure, Rosenberg's work has been out of print for many years. In this \"Selected Poems and Letters\", his biographer Jean Liddiard has made a substantial selection of his finest poems and most revealing letters, providing also an authoritative introduction and a detailed chronology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512594735377,"sku":"GOR005275571","price":10.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50952954741009,"sku":"GOR014142492","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51320855953681,"sku":"NGR9781900564892","price":19.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1900564890.jpg?v=1751186903","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/selected-poems-and-letters-book-isaac-rosenberg-9781900564892","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
