{"product_id":"9780887847271","title":"Drift : Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat are we thinking at any given moment? What happens to a thought as that moment, on its way to oblivion, collides with its successor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRambunctious, witty, joyous, and bittersweet, drift is an investigation conducted by a truly unfettered imagination. In fluid, sparkling cadences, Kevin Connolly's poems let the mind's downtime have the stage for a change -- the desert sky transformed; Spring Break as viewed by passing skipjacks; narratives of danger and dream narrative; a meditation on the business end of a sea cucumber; figures of history disfigured and left to wander the consumer grid -- such are the entirely odd, entirely current events in Connolly's world, a realm that stands at an acute angle from the place we normally live in but which we all seem to drift into. As one of Connolly's own high-voltage sonnets states, \"what stops the heart starts the world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn drift's constant juxtaposition of abundance and loneliness, we hear what it is to confront a new century, having quite likely failed during the last. We're reminded, by a voice unlike any other on the Canadian landscape, that our solitude is painful yet precious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press Ltd ,Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49702105579768,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":33.19,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9780887847271-1.jpg?v=1783621666","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9780887847271","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
