{"product_id":"9781742586861","title":"Happiness","description":"Martin Harrison (1949-2014) prepared and delivered this final manuscript at the end of a prolific creative life. With the vulnerability of a lover, the poet peels back one cover of truth after another; reckless for the evidence of the senses, he sifts light, sound, and smell. Poems like the skin of a world: breathing, walking, touching. Martin Harrison's culminating poetic achievement is a crossing over - stylistically, thematically, emotionally. Mapping the tragic chiasmus of love and death, it finally asserts the transcendent power of poetry to bear witness, to join us in a greater communion. Cosmopolitan and local, these triumphs of a 'late style' remind us what poetry is when its mastery allows the irony of existence to walk naked and to exult. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO [Subject: Poetry]","brand":"University of Western Australia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032496554224,"sku":"9781742586861","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781742586861_p0.jpg?v=1763703316","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781742586861","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
