{"product_id":"9781905700073","title":"Printed On Water","description":"This collection of Gerry Loose's poetry selects from thirty years of work. As Peter Manson says in his introduction to the book: \"Almost uniquely, Loose unites a Linnaean intoxication with names with a poet's critical sense of the limits of Language and of naming as a process of setting limits, whether on boundary-stones marked in Ogham or in the restrictions placed on human potential by military euphemism. That Loose can combine his sense of the particular with an equally clear-eyed view of the larger dimensions of landscape, history and ethics makes him a valued, wise and above all useful friend (I can barely see further than my own nose), and makes these poems - detailed on every scale - a varifocal lens for twenty-first century eyes.\"\u003cp\u003eGerry Loose is a poet and playwright based in Glasgow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shearsman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033060196592,"sku":"9781905700073","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781905700073_p0.jpg?v=1763615351","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781905700073","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
