{"product_id":"9781857549003","title":"Face of it","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoger Langley's poems explore perception. They take their bearings from forms as diverse as Renaissance hermeticism, a Greek vase, Rauschenberg's painting, Bottom's dream, a green beetle. Here the world may chime, like a building by Palladio, or disappear on a parting wave as in a film by Bergman. Surprise and truth come together. Things are both ordinary and vivid, distinct and universal. Langley's poems take delight in the sound and sense of language: for him, etymology can be revelation. In the interplay of word and object, each poem attempts an epiphany.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CARCANET PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51185184669970,"sku":"9781857549003","price":18.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/3093\/4173\/files\/9781857549003.jpg?v=1774734210","url":"https:\/\/bargainbooks.com.au\/products\/9781857549003","provider":"Bargain Books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
