{"product_id":"9781847777140","title":"Snow Falling on Chestnut Hill: New and Selected Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn F. Deane is a vital and generous presence in Irish poetry. New and Selected Poems gathers work from Deane’s five previous Carcanet collections, alongside a new sequence, Snow Falling on Chestnut Hill. Written with an inquiring intelligence, these poems of a dozen years meditate on the relevance of Christian spirituality to our troubled times. Each of the twelve poems in the title sequence presents a movement of the spirit, from the author’s childhood in the west of Ireland, through the death of a wife, to the birth of a grandchild. Arranged in the manner of an orchestral symphony, each section takes its cue from a different piece of music, from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony to Mozart’s ‘Laudate Dominum’. The sequence traces, phase by phase, the development of a Christian life. Faith, in its broadest sense, is inflected by imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carcanet Press, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153182966000,"sku":"9781847777140","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781847777140_p0.jpg?v=1763749153","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781847777140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
