{"product_id":"9781447218043","title":"November","description":"\u003ci\u003eNovember\u003c\/i\u003e is Sean O’Brien’s first collection since his widely celebrated \u003ci\u003eThe Drowned Book\u003c\/i\u003e, the only book of poetry to have won both the Forward and T. S. Eliot prizes. \u003ci\u003eNovember\u003c\/i\u003e is haunted by the missing, the missed, the vanished, the uncounted, and the uncountable lost: lost sleep, connections, muses, books, the ghosts and gardens of childhood. Ultimately, these lead the poet to contemplate the most troubling absences: O’Brien’s elegies for his parents and friends form the heart of this book, and are the source of its pervasive note of \u003ci\u003edépart\u003c\/i\u003e. Elsewhere – as if a French window stood open to an English room – the islands, canals, railway stations and undergrounds of O’Brien’s landscape are swept by a strikingly Gallic air. This new note lends O’Brien’s recent poems a reinvigorated sense of the imaginative possible: \u003ci\u003eNovember\u003c\/i\u003e shows O’Brien at the height of his powers, with his intellect and imagination as gratifyingly restless as ever.","brand":"Pan Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107227910384,"sku":"9781447218043","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781447218043_p0.jpg?v=1763817749","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781447218043","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
