{"product_id":"seahouses","title":"Seahouses","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn his first collection of poetry, Richard Barnett turns a precise gaze and a musical sensibility on the worlds we inherit and the worlds we make for ourselves. In the award-winning title sequence, the sea sifts and rolls through the dreams of an old man asleep in a deckchair, conjuring a vision of England's history and our human crossings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeahouses is a distinctively English work of low modernism, cranky, eloquent, broken-hearted. It is a book for people who read Hill, but who wish he'd be less marmoreal; people who read Paterson \u0026amp; Robinson, but who wish they'd drop the pose sometimes \u0026amp; fucking well cheer up; people who are smart and musical and angry, but who don't want to read yet another version of the Duino Elegies or 'The Wood of Suicides'; people who love history, but hate National Trust Houses; people who read nature poetry, but who don't hate cities; people who walk by the cliffs; people who've had their hearts broken, \u0026amp; who've broken someone else's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Barnett studied medicine in London before becoming a historian, and is now a freelance writer and broadcaster. His history books include The Sick Rose: Disease and the Art of Medical Illustration (Thames \u0026amp; Hudson, 2014).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Valley Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781908853462\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Valley Press","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £2.10","offer_id":47919029715121,"sku":"SB-1908853468-C2","price":2.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1908853468.jpg?v=1789691313","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/seahouses","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
