{"product_id":"9780993505638","title":"William Plomer: Selected Poems","description":"\u003cbr\u003eHe was E. M Forster’s ‘favorite contemporary poet’. W. H Auden extolled his ‘first-class visual imagination’. Stephen Spender considered his output ‘among the best English poems written in the present century’. Yet for most readers, William Plomer (1903—1973) is now a faintly-remembered name. Born in Pietersburg, South Africa, Plomer settled in London in 1929, where he went on to occupy a central position in English letters. By the time of his death he had published ten books of poetry. In a voice impersonal and strange, Plomer’s best poems reveal a mind that delights in the ‘sensory, pictorial and plastic’ (though not, as he thought, at the expense of the metaphysical).","brand":"Little Island Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008863125744,"sku":"9780993505638","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780993505638_p0.jpg?v=1763901077","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780993505638","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
