{"product_id":"9781922181619","title":"London Journal London Poem","description":"London Journal \/ London Poem is an account of the author's thinking \u0026amp; seeing while on a trip to London to visit son \u0026amp; daughter-in-law \u0026amp; to travel with them \u0026amp; his own partner, to Berlin \u0026amp; Barcelona. It is an amusing calibration of self-consciousness, speculation, stereotypes \u0026amp; detail, reflection and discovery.\u003cp\u003eThoughtful-and yet forgetful, easily distracted, hardly there sometimes-Ken Bolton's is a lyrical figure limned against the harsh outlines, the stark colours, of the Adelaide art world, adding a word here, a thought there, in the general flux of words and deeds around town, and something of a moodily romantic figure within the dun Australian literary scene, his name inevitably conjuring perhaps that best known image of him, bow-tie askew, lipstick-smeared, grinning cheerfully, at the wheel of his 1957 Jaguar D-type, El Cid. Born in Sydney in 1949 he works at the Australian Experimental Art Foundation in Adelaide where he runs the Dark Horsey bookshop \u0026amp; edits Little Esther books.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vagabond Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060810989808,"sku":"9781922181619","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781922181619_p0.jpg?v=1763633481","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781922181619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
