{"product_id":"hard-water","title":"Hard Water","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough firmly rooted in the domestic, natural world, Jean Sprackland's poems are thrilling excursions into the lives that we live alongside our everyday the lives we are aware of in dreams, in grief, in love. She shows us the vertigo and vulnerability of human experience with great clarity and precision, tenderness and care. These are vivid poems full of light and weather and a flooded forest, acid rain, an inland tidal wave, an ocean of broken glass; jellyfish washed up on the beach that 'lay like saints\/ unharvested, luminous'. There is an arresting imagination at work here, one as relaxed and at home in an alternative world of babies in filing cabinets, light collectors or the visiting dead, as it is in the world we think we supermarkets, empty flats, the A580 from Liverpool to Manchester.Lucid, sensuous and informed by an unusually tactile curiosity, the poems in Hard Water mark the assured arrival of an important poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jonathan Cape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780224069595\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sprackland, Jean","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £1.00","offer_id":47977587474609,"sku":"SB-0224069594-C2","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0224069594.jpg?v=1790373930","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/hard-water","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
