{"product_id":"passion-5","title":"Passion By Morley, David","description":"Drawing on Romany language, storytelling and the speech of birds, award-winning poet David Morley offers a provocative and passionate invitation to reflect afresh on the ways in which the lives, stories and fate of humans – and the more than human – are twinned and entwined.   In poems that crackle with verbal energy, he invokes a world where God is Salieri to Nature’s Mozart, in which hummingbirds hover like actors ‘in a theatre of flowers’, pipistrelles become piccolos, swans swerve comets, and a Zyzzyx wasp is ‘a zugzwang of six legs and letters’. There are exuberant celebrations of Romany language in the style of Edward Thomas; of how a Yellowhammer inspired Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony; of the world-shaping discoveries of women scientists; and an autobiographical sequence, which roots this poet’s authority and reflects on how power shapes what may be said in public.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57844715061630,"sku":"NW9781800174818","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/passion-5","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
