{"product_id":"9781857545494","title":"Changing Shape: Collected Poems","description":"A careful sorting out of his complete works, this book also contains Edward Lucie-Smith’s most penetrating poems of recent years. Marked by its human and social commentary, Lucie-Smith’s verse plays within the spheres of erotic and aesthetic imagery and often exudes a historical and religious sensibility. His lyricism also reflects contempt for the rigidity of poetic conventions and distaste of the anonymity of character portraits.\u003cp\u003eEdward Lucie-Smith worked in advertising and as an education officer in the Royal Air Force before becoming a freelance author.
