{"product_id":"9781854113467","title":"Selected Poems: John Powell Ward","description":"\u003cp\u003eSubstantial works from the five decades of John Powell Ward’s career are featured in this volume of collected poems. Profiled are his writings from early uncollected work to 1969’s \u003ci\u003eThe Other Man\u003c\/i\u003e, through his 1980s volumes, \u003ci\u003eTo Get Clear\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Clearing\u003c\/i\u003e, and onward toward a late flowering that included a dramatic shift in style and technique, starting with the remarkable \u003ci\u003eGenesis\u003c\/i\u003e in 1996 and leading to \u003ci\u003eLate Thoughts in March\u003c\/i\u003e in the latter half of the 1990s. The book concludes with a selection of new and uncollected poems. Ward fans learn how he evolved a startling, experimental technique focused on letters of the alphabet, and how his wider concerns—history, the human peril to the natural world, and tragic events and their aftermaths—are played out across a formal grid of beautiful complexity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seren","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47032934334704,"sku":"9781854113467","price":14.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781854113467_p0.jpg?v=1763597890","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781854113467","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
