{"product_id":"9781775588344","title":"The Blue Voyage and Other Poems","description":"IPG - The Blue Voyage and Other Poems is a new collection by Anne French – elegiac in tone and confident in execution. A more comic initial section (by noted New Zealand regional poet 'William Butler Smith') leads into a section of thoughtful but vivid sailing poems and then a number of elegies, laments and funeral songs from French's 'black notebook'. The final section voyages to Korea and includes some loose translations of poems by modernist Korean writer Han Yong-un. In their considerations of remembrance and writerly acts, these 'translations' aptly pick up themes introduced in the book's first three parts and round off the book nicely: 'Waiting \/ for the ringing of the bells announcing daybreak, \/ I put down my brush.'","brand":"Auckland University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114205987056,"sku":"9781775588344","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781775588344_p0.jpg?v=1763710485","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781775588344","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
