These compelling poems tackle subjects from war and genocide to the Roman ruins of Provence. Stone leads us on a visionary exploration of mankind's fragility and destructive power, through unpalatable historical realities which our current society, despite its vast intellectual inheritance, still straggles to assimilate. This is a world where ancient ruins emerge from the earth like the stubborn backbones of some pre-historic creature, exuding peculiar poetic significance for us today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems come from a real existential engagement and follow the old dictum that a poet must respond to his time, how things are now, whilst not letting history off the hook.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056781345008,"sku":"9781848614598","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781848614598_p0.jpg?v=1763750568","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781848614598","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
