{"product_id":"9781550656572","title":"National Animal","description":"\u003cp\u003eNational Animal, Derek Webster's second book of poetry, inhabits a wider public space than his acclaimed debut Mockingbird. In poems that extend beyond the biographical toward the political, Webster's quiet, sharp-eyed narrator— a man \" tripping \/ my way forward, trying to lead my own life\" — watches history being erased in favour of more socially palatable ideas and comforting self-portraits. Uncompromising and substantial, National Animal explores our \" civic moment\" where \"\"birds sing oblivion \/ estranged from all things,\"\" and meditates, in a final image-rich sequence, on our place in a science-based cosmos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vehicule Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48992751026411,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.03,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9781550656572","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
