Here, the poet holds his world in full focus but at an astonishing angle: from the violence of the seventeenth-century English Civil War as refracted through a mythic sea wanderer, right down to the dark interior of love. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese poems arrange the contemporary continuum of home and abroad into a wonderment of cracked narrative sequences and tumultuous personae. With ears tuned to the vernacular, the collection vividly binds us to what is terrifying about happiness, loss, and the lure of the sea. \u003ci\u003eHouse of Lords and Commons\u003c\/i\u003e testifies to the particular courage it takes to wade unsettled, uncertain, and unfettered in the wake of our shared human experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374537289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 5.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Ishion Hutchinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096046928053,"sku":"9780374537289","price":11.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_cfdeb58b-af31-45c2-9db8-829f4f8f0d4a.jpg?v=1692801323","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/house-of-lords-and-commons-poems-9780374537289","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
