{"product_id":"passion-9781800174818","title":"Passion","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrawing 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800174818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.10w x 0.30d","brand":"David Morley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52239314321589,"sku":"9781800174818","price":17.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ad97d7f8-cb4a-4f18-bb9c-0355cf6287b5.jpg?v=1770917749","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/passion-9781800174818","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
