{"product_id":"9781446467244","title":"The Tip Of My Tongue","description":"\u003cp\u003eRobert Crawford's new collection is an exhilarating celebration of the world he lives in: his family, his fellow Scots, his country and his country's languages. Beginning with a group of moving, renewing love poems to his wife, the book builds into a polyphonic hymn to life in all its aspects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a powerful sense of communion and connection in \u003ci\u003eThe Tip of My Tongue\u003c\/i\u003e: while singing the Scottish part of the planet, Crawford also embraces the rhythms of the whole circumference - from Perth, Scotland, to Perth, Australia - catching 'how Kincardineshire's sky's\/Transvaalish, Budapesty, Santa Barbaran,\/Zurich on a perfect day'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are poems that are convincingly earthed in the land and the language yet unafraid of spiritual, even religious notes; richly lyrical and passionate yet shot through with a humour and a vitality that is utterly engaging. As Liam McIlvanney wrote in the \u003ci\u003eSunday Herald\u003c\/i\u003e, 'for intellectual range, emotional depth, and lexical shimmer, Crawford is unsurpassed among recent Scottish poets'.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Adult Trade Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128485658864,"sku":"9781446467244","price":12.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781446467244_p0.jpg?v=1763824528","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781446467244","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
