Inspired by Ross's visit in 1986 to the South Korean coastal city of Pusan, like its predecessors it gracefully entwines poetry and prose. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  '\u003ci\u003eAfter Pusan\u003c\/i\u003e opens with a thirty-page prose memoir of [Ross's] visit, economically and self-effacingly told, deft in its detail and tireless in its curiosity... This memoir is more than merely an adjunct to Ross's other travel writings, though, and more than only a prelude to the poems which fill the rest of these hundred pages. \u003ci\u003eAfter Pusan\u003c\/i\u003e breaks a long silence in his life as a poet; and it was that visit to Korea... that suggested to him 'that if poetry was ever going to come again it might do so now.' \u003ci\u003ePN Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber and Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114355146992,"sku":"9780571299355","price":16.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780571299355_p0.jpg?v=1763719138","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780571299355","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
