{"product_id":"9781875894901","title":"thieves of time","description":"These new poems stem from many parts of the world. They are snapshots of life-life raw and unveiled. Snatched moments in time...\u003cbr\u003e\"With roots in both Europe and Australia, Joachim Matschoss displays a true traveler's eye for what most other people are too busy to notice. His mainly short poems have an imagistic sharpness of observation matched with a wry compassion. Many are relatively light-hearted. All are entertaining, one way or another. They will beguile readers who, like Matschoss, are prepared to pause for a while, perhaps over a pavement coffee, and work their way through this new collection.\" - Geoff Page\u003cbr\u003e\"If you love words and their powerful imagery, then Matschoss is a writer that you should seek out. And don't just read this collection, go fossick for more of his treasures.\" - Wendy O'Hanlon\u003cbr\u003e\"The poetry of Joachim Matschoss is so surprising, intelligent and seductive that very soon you find you do not want to miss a word of it.\" - Kevin Brophy\u003cbr\u003e\"In cleanly sculpted lines, his acute and tender portraits are caught like sunlight on ripples of water as Matschoss evokes a vivid journey through the streets and bars of Europe. As he returns to his Melbourne home, caught between two worlds, his delicate haiku brush against the ache of loss.\" - Philip Casey","brand":"PenFolk Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47051356700912,"sku":"9781875894901","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781875894901_p0.jpg?v=1763602373","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781875894901","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
