{"product_id":"self-portrait-in-the-dark-9781509839087","title":"Self-Portrait in the Dark","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe dark attunes our eyes to detail the light can sometimes conceal; similarly, Colette Bryce's new poems are 'slant tellings' that reveal strange and true reflections. Using a wide range of imaginative strategies, Bryce examines the ways in which time is held, space enclosed - and a life framed and given meaning: a face in a broken mirror, a spider trapped under a glass, or a stolen kiss in a car-wash. Bryce's two previous prize-winning collections were widely admired for their marvellously seductive music and their speed of thought; Self-Portrait in the Dark widens and deepens the poet's scope, and is her most emotionally compelling collection to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Praise for \u003ci\u003eThe Full Indian Rope Trick\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e '[Bryce's] poems, sensitive as the needle that registers some distant earth tremor, are delicately poised . . . Bryce's vision is questing, disquieting, dark . . . as she seeks out the truths of life and love that transform the human heart. This is a confident, complex, subversive collection that shows us the magic by which one becomes a mature poet' \u003ci\u003e The Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509839087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.16d","brand":"Colette Bryce","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197240176821,"sku":"9781509839087","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_657f26da-94f4-4277-93b0-27a83bbfa16f.jpg?v=1769622718","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/self-portrait-in-the-dark-9781509839087","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
