{"product_id":"9781781388655","title":"Slant Light","description":"In her first full-length collection, Sarah Westcott immerses the human self in the natural world, giving voice to a remarkable range of flora and fauna so often silenced or unheard. Here, the voiceless speaks, laments and sings - from the fresh voice of a spring wood to a colony of bats or a grove of ancient sequioa trees. Unafraid of using scientific language and teamed with a clear eye, Westcott's poems are drawn directly from the natural world, questioning ideas of the porosity of boundaries between the human and non-human and teeming with detail. A series of lyrical charms inspired by Anglo-Saxon texts draw on the specificity of the botanical and its spoken heritage, suggesting a relevance that resonates today. Westcott's poems are alive to the beautiful in the commonplace and offer up a precise honouring of the wild, while retaining a deeply-felt sense of connection with a planet in peril.","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114371629296,"sku":"9781781388655","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781781388655_p0.jpg?v=1763717232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781781388655","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
