{"product_id":"wheel-michael-oneill","title":"Wheel Michael Oneill By Unknown","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWheel\u003c\/i\u003e, as the title suggests, is full of revolving perspectives and throughout Michael O'Neill's beautifully modulated second collection, the poetry turns on an axis of opposites: self and others, here and there, childhood and middle-age, the present and the past. In the title-poem, an encounter with a tramp calls to mind the wheel of fortune; another poem depicts a 360° shot of a figure on a bridge; in yet another an adoption application prompts memories of circling a field. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, a boy's phantasmal arm brushes his ear as he bowls, the dead form a band of souls, a merry-go-round melts into a hoop of light, and the rings of a tree uprooted in a gale expose its age. The poems often open out on to imagined states and virtual realities, and occasionally glimpse a dimension beyond time's whirligig. Deft in its shifts of tone and formally skilful, Wheel is a powerful and affecting collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57987414983038,"sku":"NW9781904614791","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781904614791.jpg?v=1788817848","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/wheel-michael-oneill","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
