{"product_id":"9781907489051","title":"Variations On Painting A Room","description":"Variations on Painting a Room brings together ten years of small press publications by the poet Alan Baker, together with a large body of new and uncollected work. His poetry, as Todd Swift notes, \"turns the British lyric subtly, and offers new angles on a how a line may be shaped, or allowed to spin off in another direction.\"\u003cp\u003e\"Elizabeth Bishop wrote, \"The three qualities I admire in the poetry I like best are: Accuracy, Spontaneity, Mystery\". These are the qualities I find in Alan Baker's poems. The precise particulars that create a very real, clear and believable writing, a willingness to take risks, and an awareness that what matters is not to be found in the obvious but in the half glimpsed, half said, half understood\" (Lee Harwood)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skysill Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043833921776,"sku":"9781907489051","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781907489051_p0.jpg?v=1763618571","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781907489051","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
