{"product_id":"9780571273737","title":"Selected Poems of Mick Imlah","description":"\u003cp\u003eMick Imlah's second and long-awaited collection \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Leader\u003c\/i\u003e was published to acclaim in 2008, shortly before his early death in January 2009. The present retrospect connects the work of three decades, drawing upon Imlah's earlier full-length collection, \u003ci\u003eBirthmarks\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), but also including uncollected poems and previously unpublished work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Lost Leader\u003c\/i\u003e won the Forward Prize and revealed a poet of dazzling virtuosity, eloquence and subtlety - breaking through, as Imlah said of Edwin Muir (whose poems he selected in his last year) 'to a field of unforced imaginative fluency and an unexpected common cause'. Edited by Mark Ford and with an essay by Alan Hollinghurst, the \u003ci\u003eSelected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e brings together the best work of a poet who can now be seen, with increasing clarity, as a 'lost leader' of Scottish poetry in our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120380788976,"sku":"9780571273737","price":14.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571273737_p0.jpg?v=1763719138","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571273737","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
