{"product_id":"9780887847271","title":"Drift : Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat are we thinking at any given moment? What happens to a thought as that moment, on its way to oblivion, collides with its successor?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRambunctious, witty, joyous, and bittersweet, drift is an investigation conducted by a truly unfettered imagination. In fluid, sparkling cadences, Kevin Connolly's poems let the mind's downtime have the stage for a change -- the desert sky transformed; Spring Break as viewed by passing skipjacks; narratives of danger and dream narrative; a meditation on the business end of a sea cucumber; figures of history disfigured and left to wander the consumer grid -- such are the entirely odd, entirely current events in Connolly's world, a realm that stands at an acute angle from the place we normally live in but which we all seem to drift into. As one of Connolly's own high-voltage sonnets states, \"what stops the heart starts the world.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn drift's constant juxtaposition of abundance and loneliness, we hear what it is to confront a new century, having quite likely failed during the last. We're reminded, by a voice unlike any other on the Canadian landscape, that our solitude is painful yet precious.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Anansi Press Ltd ,Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48680489582827,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.03,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780887847271-1.jpg?v=1781645584","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780887847271","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
