{"product_id":"9781788641364-touched","title":"Marriott Ian - Touched - Paperback","description":"Binding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\nDescription: In the initial sequence of this pamphlet and following short lyrics the writer explores the experience of living with long - term and severe mental states. There is no safe haven of medical 'pathology here but an urgent rite of passage for the damaged and conflicted soul. A form of modern Purgatory - escaping the grasping jaws of Inferno to find itself stumbling towards a rarefied yet earthy Paradiso. Ian Marriott's marvellous poems inhabit rather than observe nature - in fact they do both - but are as much concerned with the human condition. They work in the area of what Hopkins called instress. The voice is calm contained and precise as when he watches a Pond Skater \" So perilous \/ this thin meniscus - \/ six legs spread out\". The poems too seem to tremble on the water of their vision. - George Szirtes\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Touched\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Marriott Ian\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Cinnamon Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781788641364\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 32 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 4\/4\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Poetry By Individual Poets","brand":"Marriott Ian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49624048927025,"sku":"IN-G-9781788641364","price":9.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781788641364.jpg?v=1724769782","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781788641364-touched","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
