{"product_id":"the-shout-selected-poems-9780375712067","title":"The Shout: Selected Poems","description":"Now in paperback, the powerful selected work of Simon Armitage, the most distinctive poetic voice of contemporary Britain. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSimon Armitage is arguably the leading British poet of the past twenty years. His knowledge of the English just as they are (\"a gentleman farmer \/ living on reduced means, a cricketer's widow, \/ sowing a kitchen garden with sweet peas\"), his colloquial Yorkshire wit and eye for situational ironies, his ability to steal up on us with the surreal while capturing the ordinary speech of everyday life: these qualities place him at the forefront of British poetry today. This slim volume is the perfect introduction to his work for newcomers, or the ideal selection for longtime readers to keep on the bedside table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375712067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Simon Armitage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45331864780981,"sku":"9780375712067","price":17.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_51bedad8-c512-45c7-a708-13d426994782.jpg?v=1745938317","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-shout-selected-poems-9780375712067","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
