His sensibility is unique, engaging and immediate; we are drawn into the worlds of these poems by his accurate eye, his sensual line and the warmth of his communion with the scene he describes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRanging across the globe, from Mexico to Japan, from the States to Southern England, these poems can be lyrical and deeply affecting, wryly funny or wildly imaginative. From a lonely mother attempting to learn the piano to a ski-jump that never ends, from a redemptive encounter with horses on a cold day to a miraculous bowl of chicken soup, these poems display a vibrancy and variety rarely seen in contemporary poetry. But Shukman's great strength is in the domestic: the complexities of love, and the rites of passage of childhood and parenthood, are re-entered with candor, grace and originality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Doctor No's Garden\u003c\/i\u003e is an affectionate, refreshing debut, striking in its imagery and insight, remarkable for its lightness of touch and emotional weight.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143186465008,"sku":"9781446449752","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781446449752_p0.jpg?v=1763828971","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781446449752","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
