{"product_id":"9781775580362","title":"Castaly: Poems, 1973-77","description":"IPG - The poems that make up \u003ci\u003eCastaly: Poems 1973–77\u003c\/i\u003e have been selected by the poet from work completed over the course of four years. Ian Wedde writes: The poems in this book represent my attempts to remain alert in the world between 1973 and 1977. . . . Nevertheless my main obsessions (sometimes called 'themes') have remained the same, though not habitual I hope. They are few, and if they don't come across in these poems, well, I did the best I could. (That's all I am telling.) Last night I had a comical dream in which all the typists from the typing pool of a large insurance company hurled their typewriters down the lift-shaft of the building. This odd vision is what I have to get on with now, it's still mine, whereas the poems in this book belong (with thanks) to whoever cares to read them. (I suspect the dream offered a metaphor for wasted emotions. I recognise another voice which says, 'Nothing is wasted' . . .","brand":"Auckland University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135964823792,"sku":"9781775580362","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781775580362_p0.jpg?v=1763710365","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781775580362","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
