{"product_id":"9781740279376","title":"In this dusty rear-view mirror: 55 poems","description":"'In this dusty rear-view mirror: 55 poems is a travelogue of the soul - anchored by a unifying voice that is authentic, reassuring yet searching. In its scope it draws from a youth spent in the rolling hills (and sometimes dark valleys) of South Gippsland in Victoria, to journeys in middle age through California and the vast deserts of the American south-west. Rodney Williams' poetry brims with stunning metaphors, a strong affection for the comedic, astute explorations of form, rhythm and style and unusual skill in evoking layered atmospherics, in both the human and natural worlds. This is a collection born of an unquenchable fascination with words in all their hues and configurations, a deep respect for literary tradition and a heartfelt desire to celebrate with great intelligence the shared experiences which bind us. As In this dusty rear-view mirror itself suggests, Rodney Williams is alert to what has gone before, whilst keeping a firm view on the road ahead - always on the lookout for a new intersection.' - Peter Roberts (author of A Sort of Homecoming)'","brand":"Ginninderra Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131227947248,"sku":"9781740279376","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781740279376_p0.jpg?v=1763703417","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781740279376","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
